I see powerbelts no differently than any other bullet. Its simply a card that isin your 5 card hand. The value of that card, depends entirely on what the other 4 cards are. If one has a 245 PB card, a frontal shot slightly quartered card,a 3 50 grainpellet card, an average 2" miss card, and a 50 yard card, then, IMHO,if he takes the shot, he's just bluffing.

The key to building a winning handwith PB'sis to take advantage of what theirstrengths are, add the proper complement of cards, and play your handwithout bluffing. 348 and heavier PB's areideal for devastaing, deeply penetrating,awesome expanding, rapid energy energy dissapation,with moderate powder charges, deer killing. One just has to understand what the hand is and how to play it.If the rules they should beplayed with are not suiting to one,he just picks a different bullet and plays by different rules and a different complement of"cards". Itsnot wiseto force a powerbelt to play like an xtpor vice versa.
