AllI will say in support of Powerbelts is, as many cases of people having poor performance with powerbelts, there would probably be just as many people that have had nothing but good experience with powerbelts. They did not get to be one of the best selling projectiles in the country by being poor in performance. I personally have never shot an animal with a powerbelt. There for I have no first hand experience with their lethal end. I have shot a LOT of powerbelts in practice. In the right rifle, I find them very accurate. I also see no reason why they should not work for the taking of game if used properly.

The real question is, what is the proper way to use a powerbelt. Are some people pushing them too hard? Perhaps placeing them in the wrong area of the animal? I do not know. Would I hunt with them, yes I would.

I do want to say in support of gleason.chapmanthere are a lot of projectiles out there on the market that will do as good a job or better and in many cases for less money. It pays to try different projectiles in your rifles and find those that shoot accurate and work the way they are suppose to.
