I did a little informal testing of my own a while back and thought I would throw it out here for ya all to chew on. Took the 295 gr powerbelt hp' s and the TC 240 gr XTP' s and shot them at 75 yards with 90 gr. of Cleanshot powder. The targets were taped to wine boxes that were filled with a sifted damp and slightly compacted sand. Each round was retrieved prior to the next shot and the sand was returned to as close to same condition as before. The bottom row of the picture (assuming I can get that to upload and display) are the PB' s, middle row is the XTP' s and for giggles and a bit more comparison I sent a few 200 gr RN winchester factory 35 Rem rounds at it as well. You guys be the judge here but if you could have seen the massive cavities that the PB' s left in the sand you would wonder how they dont explode the deer. Hope the pic comes out. Enjoy
