Default RE: shockwave or powerbelt

ORIGINAL: rockrv

I am shooting a thompson center omega with 100 grains of 777 pellets and I was wondering what would be a better bullet. I have a few of the powerbelt 245gr aerotips but Ive heard nothing good about them and Ive never killed a whitetail with them so I dont know how they perform. thanks
The PB were designed to shoot at low speed to expand and not fragment. In your Omega, shoo tthe 250g SW with 100g of 777 pellets. The SW is a better bullet at that charge, it is a very accurate bullet also. Most folks shoot powerbelts because they hate hard loading, if you swab between shots that is no problem.
