I'm not going to say people haven't had problems finding deer using other bullets, only Powerbelts. I lost a big doe last year using a 12 gauge Winchester sabot slug. But this is far from the first horror story about the performance of Powerbelt bullets. I had some and they shot extremely well, but after reading all the terrible reviews about their terminal performance, I never hunted with them. I switched to the 240 grain XTP that I had taken a deer with before and had confidence with. No bad reviews on that bullet, and I have yet to lose a deer that I have hit with them.
