Of course that is an easy answer for me... yes! there is a bullet that is as accurate and much more deadly - in fact there are a lot of bullets that will fit in that much more deadly category.

Power Belts are virtually a conical bullet, It holds the iniatial blast pressure with the plastic skirt that is on the bottom of the bullet but it soon obterates to the size of your bore and it is on the way. Essentially the Power Belt is an elogated round ball - but with the Power Belt you are able to shoot a heavier round ball. According to FG the correct way to shoot a Power Belt and have it function correctly is to reduce the velocity that you are shooting it and allow it to work correctly - reduce velocity so it will not fragment. And I believe he is correct... but for my ersonal choice I choose not to reduce velocity in fact I choose to go the other way and shoot a faster stronger bullet. Further if I were going to shoot a conical it would not be a Power Belt - Bull Shop Bullets and No Excuses Conicals are far better conicals and are as accurate and they are very deadly.

The one major reason that the PB is widely accepted is ease of loading - and it is easy to load, but If you use Bull Shop conicals Dan will size them for best fit in your barrel - so they become slip fit - push them in with your thumb - push them home with your ram rod. If you live in a state or hunting area that requires conicals take a look at Dan's offerings. If you can use sabots, then gosh there is a ton of selections...

My number one choice would be Nosler Partitions...
.451/260 grain for deer
.451/300 grain for elk
.458/300 grain for elk (my favorite)

Other excellent choices:
Barnes Bullets - but you might have to swap out sabots to fit your bore
Speer Gold Dots...
.429/270 grain for deer
.452/250 grain for deer
.452/300 grain for deer/elk/boar

And of course the gammet of Hornady XTP's - although they are down on my list

And I will tell you several people will tell you the SST/Shock Waves are the best...

So to point blank answer your question - yes, there are better bullets than Power Belts out there. Do Power Belts work? - yes on most accasions... Are there better projectiles? CERTAINLY...
