No powerjunk for me thank you very much! Not after my horrible experiance with them 2 years ago. No way no how.

To sum it up. 3 different deer in a 15 minute span all under 50 yards, all broadside standing still. Yup you guessed it. No blood, no deer nothing. No way no how did I not put good shots on them. We have unlimited doe here and I needed meat for the freezer and had 2 friends begging for a deer. We searched for hours and never foundany blood. 295 grain aerotip pushed by 100 grains of T7 pellets. I was about to wrap my gun around a tree when I decided to shoot a knot on a tree at 50 yards instead to see if maybe my scope got messed up. Nope it was right on the money. Made me sick to my stomach knowing I injured those deer.

Very next day out I went back to my 260 grain standard knight lead sabot (the ones that come with the gun in value packs) and dropped a doe in her tracks. That was my only and last time I will ever hunt with them.
If you want to use a easy loading bullet that performs better than a PB, try the 300g Harvester SabreTooth http://www.harvesterbullets.com/sabertooth.htm. they are 1/2 the price and about as accurate. They load like a PB with a skirt, but have a thicker copper jacket.This is a very nice buck gotten by my brother at 6:45 AM in Virginia, 150g of Pyrodex Pellets from an Encore. DRT, not one step. I agree, no more PowerJunk for me or my brother. There are no instructions on thepackage saying shoot slowly not over 1400 FPS---like a pack of cigarettes. Chap
