Default RE: POWERBELT BULLETS PROBLEMS??????
ORIGINAL: Triple Se7en

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.
my .50 cal hawkins seems to group the 295 gr powerbelt better than the 348 BUT, i think your right, the 348 is better choice for deer but i am stuck on 295,i like it.
