I would call it a successful hunt with a failing bullet.
I think you nailed it Cayugad. That's what I would call it too.

However, that's hardly what you want a bullet to look like after recovery.
I agree TN. I know I'll never use them. As far as I'm concerned, I don't want or expect to be able to recover the bullet from a broadside shot on an 80 lb. doe.

Advice: If he must use Powerbelts, Then Next time use 348g PB and same 70g powder charge, with better shot placement Or Switch to the 250g THOR, with 80g powder charge, with better shot placement.
Well that's good advice Lane. But you know me - I've already told him that next week we're going to see how 300 grain Gold Dots shoot from his gun.
