Default RE: POWERBELT BULLETS PROBLEMS??????

I saw the effects PB's had on elk last fall.....I shot mine with 120 grains of loose powder & 348 AT. At 90 yards & almost broad side my bullet never hit the other side....I picked up small pieces all over inside the chest cavity upon dressing the animal.

Elk #2 (same load) my buddy shot 4 minutes after mine. Quatering toward him & 40 paces away.....Hits the elk drops him in his tracks.....upon quatering the animal we recovered dust.... yeah dust thats what was left of the bullet.

I loved this load for elk....We were shooting encores. These guns loved this load, had a little bite at the bench but very accurate nonetheless.

I really hope this new bullet they have out will hold together better. I should draw agin next season & will be giving them a try if they fly as good as the others.

Idon't think anybody should have trouble with these bullets with deer size game....I can't say they were a complete failure because we recovered all the animals & I don't think 120 grains is to much for a 348 grain slug that is advertised for 150 grains......Just my 2 cents worth....Jason
