RE: CVA Hunterbolt & powerbelt loads
Just an update. My son hit a deer with the 245 Powerbelt at about 75 yds. Knocked her off her feet. He reloaded and tried to finish her off with a head shot - missed. She got up and walked away. NO BLOOD. We spent an afternoon at the range and he switched to 320 gr. Maxi's and I went with the 295 lead Powerbelts. On the last afternoon of the last day I finally got a very close running shot. Figured I'd missed as she kept going. We checked the trails and found her dead, lying about 50 yards from where she was hit. The first blood sign we found was where she lay, but the hole in her should have been bleeding all over the county - bled out inside. Still cann't figure it out. This is the time of miraculous birth - but this was a case of miraculous death!
