Default RE: 245 Gr. vs. 270 Gr. Powerbelts

Ive shot 2 deer with 245 grain powerbelts, Aerotips with 2-50 grain pyro pellets,, I get excellent accuracy with them. One deer was at 10 yards the other at 85 yards.

Killed both deer instantly! Good thing? maybe not. on closer examination I only found entrance holes on both deer, big ones, bullets hit nothing but ribs!

Figured when gutting id find them inside the deer,, never sound either of them... found bits and pieces of them but never found a large chunk of bullet. Both deer were 130-140# does,, I seriously question what would happen if I were too try and put one through the shoulder of a 200#+ buck...

Definitely changing my ammo for next year with out question,, I want an exit hole and I want something that will smash through a shoulder bone without completely falling apart!

Ive got a box of sst's that will be next years ammo!
