the gang i hunt and i all use the 295 powerbelt. we all shoot 100grns of either 777,pyrodex or blackpowder. we have had no problems with killing pwer or the lack of blood trails. we've only killed somewhere around 175 deer with these bullets. i wouldn't go over 100 grns of any powder with powerbelt of any kind,these bullets do not have a true jacket like regular bullets. they are copper plated,just a thin coating to help the load easier.i dont like the real light weight muzzleloader bullets of any kind,with a 50cal.i'd stay up around 300grns of bullet.

i've been shooting some of the new blackhorn 209 powder lately in my triumph,i'm only shooting 80 grns because blackhorn is a hotter powder.
