So exactly what is the big deal if the powerbelt fragments a bit with two 50 grain pellets? Lots of other type bullets may fragment also yet will KILL the deer. Any bullet I have ever recovered had some sort of fragmentation in fact. If the brunt of a 245 or 295 grain bullet will be passing through the deer's vitals even with some fragmentation I can't see the deer going very far.
IF YOU HIT BEHIND SHOULDER,EXPLODING BULLET IS JUST FINE.
if you hit the shoulder, oh my.
now,with a IN-LINE with scope, you have a great chance to shoot a buck behind shoulder
BUT with a flintlock hawkins.50 cal
i guess you can see i like this gun, with open sights,you better slow your bullet down because you could hit shoulder and not behind the shoulder.
