I have a question, Why do you need such a heavy bullet for deer? I bought .50 cal 250 gr power belt bullets for my muzzle loader and they shoot great but I've never shot a deer with it yet. Do you really need the extra weight so the bullet holds together? Just curious.
I betif you did a poll the250 class is the most used weight for inlines and deer. It really depends on usage and gun preferences which bullet style and grain you choose. I have never used a powerbelt in the field so can't comment to how they may work, but nothing wrong with a 250gr bullet and accuracy!

I have shot deer with balls to 460 cronicals, they all work when put in the right spot. The 250 classhas accounted for the majority of my deer harvests with an inline and haven't felt I needed more from 30-210 yards.
