with the muzz you shoot, i agree , i would not use powerbelt hollow point BUT in HAWKINS .50 CAL FLINTLOCK ,OPEN SIGHTS , SHOOTING CLOSE,UNDER 100 YARDS.
no other bullet shoots out of mine than a POWERBELT 295/348 HOLLOW POINT loaded down...
no kick, less smoke, less noise,easy to load at 5 degrees above,no lubes,VERY ACCURATE,opens up nicely on deer at LOW LOAD,like 80 grs of 2f geox.
more deer are missed with a heavy kicking muzz.
more deer are lost shooting IN-LINE at high speeds with a POWERBELT HOLLOW POINT BULLET.
