Default RE: Powerbelt held together

ORIGINAL: frontier gander

No i wouldnt say that. Ive shot deer close to 150 yards both times with a load of 120 grains 245 powerbelt, pass thru. Shot one that was standing picture perfect with 150 grains RS loose and a 295 powerbelt. After the smoke cleared that deer was down and slid down the hill a few feet. I honestly cant say what the other people are doing wrong or if anything. All 3 of us that use them over the years have never had this happen.
Yes, you know how to use them, since your a life member on this forum. I use to use them for several years first with just 2 pellets where they performed as advertised. I then went the 3 pellet craze, not knowing that this bullet was designed differently.I was pushing them too hard with 150g charges. I was NOT aware that PB had to be slowed down to 1200 to 1400 FPS. So folks that use them should know this and don't hit shoulder or big bones.Chap
