This has been an interesting thread. I haven't understood anyone to be down on anyone else's opinions - just debating the various issues.
Concerning the non-hollow pointed powerbelts, the only one I have seen is their Dangerous Game bullet, which has a solid steel point. They are on the far right of the picture (if it loads for me). At $62.99 per 15, I doubt that anyone would want to use them for anything but - well, dangerous game!
To answer the original question of this post, I use PB's because of ease of loading. I would love to find something else I CAN load. So far, everything I've tried has been extremely difficult.
From all I've been reading about PB's, it seems to me like I will just need to be more selective about the shots I take with them. I have shot many deer with a .30 cal 165 gr. bullet directly in the front, or quartering to, that passed clear through the vitals and ended up in the ham, or even exited the body. I wouldn't try that with a .223, however, but wait for a broadside shot or not shoot at all. Sounds like the same must be observed with the PB's, as they tend to break up upon hitting heavy bone.
