I have shot 2 deer with 295 gr powerbelts aerotips. the one in my avatar only ran 50 yrds and piled up. The other ran 20 yards and droped. exit wounds on both and no problem with blood trails. i shoot a cva wolf. 100 hogdon triple 7 pellets. I Bought the hollow points this time we will see how these work. but i can't complain about the aerotips.
