Powerbelts
So, a couple reports on Powerbelts:
First, in cutting up dad's deer, I found the 245gr just sitting in the hide, almost went completely through, the powerbelt had a perfect mushroom shape.
Mine went through completely...so nothing there to look at. However, mine ran into a spruce swamp...made it 40 yds I suppose, never found hardly a drop of blood in the snow until right before the deer itself....
One of my friends shot a buck in the chest...the deer fell down a big hill, busted half the rack off, no find!!
Sunday, they found a buck bedded down, they shot it and low and behold, it was the one they shot the other day...it had half a rack and a hole in the chest..the Powerbelts never made it to any vitals, dissintegrated on impact....
I love how Powerbelts load. I have never lost a deer from one but am bothered by hearing of fragmenting...which happened to me last year, but my deer died, and from a seemingly lack of blood trail until after the 40yd marker....lots of in-cavity blood....
anyone have any thoughts to go along with this?
