I am assuming these elk were shot with a .50 cal.=(SD .168) ? If a .54, the SD would be even lower; but, it appears that perhaps the results would have been better if they had been using a heavier Powerbelt bullet. I recently saw a TV show in which the Powerbelt was used for elk, but they used a .50 cal. 444 grain slug (SD .253), NOT the 295 grain!! I would be interested to know whether either of these bullets hit heavy bone, rather than just ribs, and also, about how deep did these bullets penetrate? There's NO DOUBT AT ALL that the Maxiballs will penetrate enough!! <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

Keep yore powder dry!!
