they penetrate just fine for me and a lot of others out there. 245-295gr use 80gr powder.
you are right on but most want those IN-LINE ones to rocket at deer.

shoot a deer close with a pb at high speed and you will be sorry.

they should market those POWERBELTS for open sight flintlocks only at low charges.

there they are OUTSTANDING,i love the dang things.

i hate recoil and these bullets open at low speeds.

no need for flat shooting high speed if you are only shooting under 100 yards or less.
Good load and bullet for 1000 to 1200 fps flintlock sighted in 2" high at 50 yards. Much more energy to 100 yards than a PRB in a 50 cal.
