Not a fan of powerbelts myself I'm a sabot guy--hdy SST, T/C shockwave, or hdy xtps with sabots would be what I would start with myself. And pellets are a waste of money. Cost more to shoot, can't vary your loads like you can with loose. Pyrodex RS does the trick there for me. My hunting load for my T/C Omega is a 250gr shockwave with 130gr Pyrodex RS, or a 240gr T/C Cheap Shot with the same charge if I'm not going to be shooting very far.
