Default RE: Powerbelt Disintegrates

I have already said this in another post but I'll repeat it. I love Powerbelts. I used them last year(240 grain Aero Tip and 120 grains Pyrodex)and shot a 200 pound 8 point at 70 yards through the heart. It fell over in it's tracks and never got up again. It was a complete pass through. The funny thing was that there wasn't a spot of blood on the ground. I still can't understand that.

My doe this year was shot at 50 yards.I was using 110 grains of powder and 300 grain TC XTP MAG sabots. I hit the deer in the neck and she went right down but crawled 30 or 40 yards. She must've been hit the jugular or a main artery because she threw blood out of the entrance and exit wounds very profusely.

I have no complaints with either bullet. The XTP's are extremely hard to load in my gun when dirty. The Powerbelts are always easy. My complaint with the PB's is the price. I neever buy them because they are basically a dollar a bullet. the Powerblets also group tighter in both of my ML's. I go with the PB's when I have the money and the XTP's when I don't.
