Default RE: bullet size for elk hunt
ORIGINAL: Roskoe

I think between the flat nose and the length of the bullet, the 444 gr Powerbelt gives some expansion, but not the "pancake" expansion of the regular hollowpoint Powerbelt. A person I know shot a bison with this bullet last year. It expanded moderately and didn't come apart.
OK. Thanks. Good to know this. Chap Gleason
