Default RE: 295 Powerbelt exit wound

That is a great exit wound but I would not expect that every time. I shot a nice buck last year with that same bullet at 15 yards. Granted I was using 150 grains of American Pioneer Pellets and the bullet never expanded at all. The entrance and exit wounds were small andI had no blood (Shot Placement was perfect behind the shoulder Double Lung no bones hit). I have since switched to Barnes Expanders and the deer I have shot this year have had huge wound channels and easy blood trails to follow. I'm sold on Barnes bullets. I have heard some peolpe say they are expensive but whenI see Powerbelts and Shockwaves on the shelf they are really the same price. Even if they were more the performance would be worth the extra cost in my opinion.
