RE: Deciding on bullets...Help please
I used to use Powerbelts but after seeing their performance on deer I quickly switched to TC Mag Express Sabots240 grain XTP Bullets over 100 grains of Pyrodex...I've killed 3 deer in 2 years with them and the bullets performed extremelywell...Complete pass thru's with a lot of internal damage and massive blood loss.
The Powerbelts never seemed to expand...I hit 2 deer with well placed shots behind the shoulderand luckily found them with no blood trail...The first deer was 20 yards away and I got no pass thru, the second deer was 50 yards away with no pass thru...Their chest cavities filled up with blood so they didn't leave a blood trail...The internal damage was basically a bullet hole through the lungs with no devistation like I get with the XTP's.
