First off let me state.. I have never take a deer with a powerbelt. I do hunt with them when I use my CVA Staghorn Magnum and was more then willing to push the 245 grain Aero Tip at one, but the critters have become most uncooperative.

I really am starting to have some concerns about the powerbelt and their use. Not so much from their ability to fatally wound a deer and actually bring it down in a relatively close distance. My concern centers more on lack of blood trails and the fragmentation of the projectile I read about.

I have read a large number of posts with the same comments. Bullet fragmented, and little or no blood trail. Where I hunt, if that deer runs off without a blood trail, we have some serious problems if it makes any distance away. As popular of a bullet they are, it just seems strange that I read so many posts about them. Maybe in the future I will be able to do my own testing.

Nice deer, and nice picture. As said, now we have a face to a name...
