Default RE: Another -> PowderBelt Question

good to hear from you, I was wondering when you were goingto ring in...

Question #1 - How many of you use PowerBelts because of the ease of loading? ME!

Question #2 - How many of you use PowerBelts because of the ease of loading the follow-up shots... (when you do not have time to run a damp patch)? ME!
And this is really what I am looking for - I propose that you can load sabots, if you get the right one, with little more effort that you use to load a PB.

PLUS! now thisis just me talking - you can use a stonger powder load if you choose, you really do not have to worry about the bullet falling off the powder, has actually happened - actually the bullet has fallen out but the skirt stayedin the barrel, and my personal bias I believe you are shooting much better bullets than soft lead elongated round balls - and within that statement there is nothing wrong with that if that is what you prefer - I'm just hooked on performance especially down range and on thick skinned game. I know they work and the continue to work - but ask mostshooters in Washington or Colorado if they had their choice - What would you shoot? Yes, some would still say give me a full big bore conical - I want to make a big hole but most would choose a more efficient flatter bulletfor themselves and the animals. If everyone shot as well as you, Roundball, Cayugad, Triple Seven, and others it would not be a problem, BUT how many hunters especially new hunters and there a bunch of new ones coming on board are that really qualified to shoot the big looping conicals estimating range - wind - drop and adding all of that into a calculation? Then make a shot...

Oh well my soap box - I know

Thanks for your reply
