there are 6 of us that hunt together ,we have been useing the 295 HP for years. we shoot 80-100 grns of 777,pyrodex,shockeys gold or blackhorn. we have killed around 200 deer and 6-7 bear with these bullets. i've seen very few bullets that came apart enough to matter. most deer only travel 50 yds or less . i killed one last yr. at 146yds that didn't take a step. you may not get a exit wound sometimes with powerbelts ,but dead is dead. if he goes down still in sight ,who cares if it exits.
