after reading all the crap about powerbelts not performing well i thought i would post here about my results. to start with it there are 5 of us that hunt together and we are all using 295 hp powerbelts, not the areo tips because none of us get as good of groups from them. these are copper jacketed. the 5 of us in the last 5-6 years have killed 25-30 deer a year, so thats more then 125 deer and all takin with these bullets. we have had no "blowups " on shoulders or anything else. i have seen them shot in thru both shoulder blades then exit, i've had a few lay just under the hide on the other side and found them when skinning. i've also seen them shot in the chest and the bullets go all the way thru the hind quarter.i have read on other sites about people having problems with PB ,but remember one thing . they sell thousands more PB then any other bullets,most everywhere you go they have them. i think these bullets perform as well as anything else. here's one i shot last year,what more could you ask for.
