They shot real good for me,wtih 2 777 pellets.But after sighting them in,I shot a doe at 60yds with them,I thought I missed,but she mule kicked like she was hit.I went and inspected the area for a sign of a hit,and nothing,I searched a little and was confident in a miss.Got home and searched the net for them.And come to find out,powerbelts are known to explode or fragment on impact,which in turns causes no blood trail,and only wounding the deer. Makes me think that is what happend to my doe I shot at..But anyway

I have also heard that if you use a low power charge,nothing over 80grs,then they are good bullets..But Im not real sure on that.My advise would be if your wanting to use a powerbelt type bullet,then use the Hornady FPB! Im useing them now and they shoot awesome and they sure do put them deers down..
