with powerbelts people often dont realize that they are soft pure lead and they have a deep HP which means that when pushed to fast they come apart. You'll learn all about that on my forum.

sst- They dont expand, no blood trails and such.

With a powerbelt in the 245-295gr area and the 80gr charge, its going to expand to about the size of a quarter and leave a big hole going in and out, but may hang up on the other side of the hide and not exit. No big deal to me as an exit never made any difference. The deer that i have shot either have dropped in their tracks or gone 15 yards at the most. The farthest a deer has gone for us was 30 yards. Shot placement is key.
