Couldn't have said it better myself. The all lead PowerBelts less than 400 grs expand far to quickly in my opinion. A buddy of mine has taken 5 deer with the 295 HP PowerBelt and has NOT had a passthrough on any of them. A couple deer were only in the 90lbs range and he shot them broadside at less than 50 yards with a load under 100gr of Pyrodex....still no passthrough.

Like the previous posted said, the PowerBelts are real accurate and shoot well out of a number of different MLs, but if you plan on really pushing that projectile, you better stick with the higher weight all lead version, the areo tipped copper clad lower weight version, or the new super expensive platinum version.

Don't risk that critter getting away after the PowerBelt over expands and fragments to dust.
