not that the bullet would stop the groan. But do yourself a favor and quit using PowerBelts. In my experience 90% of the time they will not pass through. So the lack of blood is an issue. Sure there is blood at the point of impact but a blood trail is just not there.
Many will disagree with me. But trust me I have been at this long enough and have had to trail many deer with my dogs and for the most part PowerBelts are the main culprit. Not only powerbelts all ballistic tip bullets.
I don't agree with the part of all ballistic tip bullets being bad. However, I do agree with the part about the PB's being horrible and not leaving a good blood trail. I used them in a 295 grain hollow point for a few years and finally switched last year to Deep Curls. The difference is amazing. I will never go back to Powerbelts. Most of my friends that have used them also realized they suck and have switched. I only know 2 guys who haven't switched, and they have problems with losing deer after deer as there is hardly ever a blood trail.
