RE: POWERBELT BULLETS PROBLEMS??????
I would never hunt with a lead Powerbelt. I've witnessed a half-dozen dead deer with impressive holes in them from the 245 grcopper aerotipPowerbelt at deer camps. My favorite Powerbelt is the 348 copper HP. Best success with copper Powerbelts is keeping the powder charge at 100 grains or less & aiming for the heart/lungs.
I'm not promoting this bullet. Haven't purchased them in 3-4 years. Give me 300 gr. XTP, Shockwave, Elite Extremeor 375 gr. Buffalo S.S.B any day.
