I was wondering, are the platinum powerbelts built with thicker jacketing? Just curious what the difference was why they made the plat series.

Talked to my dad today, he shot a deer last weekend with his 270gr plat powerbelt. he uses a pretty hot charge, 110gr of 777. As I expected, he reported the bullet did fragment into a few pieces (no pass through). I mentioned to him about some of the things said in the thread, but he seemed more than happy about his bullet exploading and 'doing lots of internal damage'. To each his own I guess. I would like to push the velocity up myself, but will be using something else, was just trying out the platinums this fall and was what I was sighted in for when the season came around.
