In some states you have to use conical's, We are very fortunate to have powerbelts, A lot of the new rifles (if not all inlines)are made to shoot sabots. I shot 2 elk (4 times bigger than adeer)with 348 powerbelts, both died. I tried most every conical combination to shoot out of several Omega's none would group
at all. A powerbelt has to have soft lead so it can obturate, the skirt is only for looks it spins on the nipple and has to come off or accuracy goes south. The White rifle (which I used this year on a large bull) uses heavy conicals 460 or bigger and they are great. If you put a heavier coating it will cut down on how this bullet can work, it needs to obturate. Making the
leadharder will cause leading in the barrel. I believe and have proven in several rifles that you need to shoot the heaviest powerbelt there is, at least a 348.
I couldn't get the platinums to group at all.
