Are the powerbelt hollow points a good enough elk bullet?

You didn't say what caliber you are shooting, or the twist of your rifling-but if your rifle will handle the 444-grain Power Belt with 100-120 grains of FFg or the equivalent in a substitute powder,it will knock an elk on his keester!!

In addition, some states (like CO) prohibit sabotted bullets, but allow Power Belts. IMO, a heavy full diameter lead slug at medium velocity (1300-1600 FPS) is better than an subcaliber sabotted pistol bullet for heavy game.
