Well granted that was 50+ yards, but that kind of accuracy was hard to over look. I got a heck of a deal on them Powerbelts at Gander Mountain Store and so I picked up four cards. I still think they would make an excellent 50 yard and under bullet for deer, but then I have no field experience. But with that kind of accuracy, you could easy place the bullet.

Today I took out the Green Mountain Barrel that is 1-28 and 45 caliber. I had shifted scopes and so now it has different mounts and a 4x32mm Simmon Pro Diamond. I was shooting 85 grains of Graf's and Sons 3f powder and a 200 grain Hornady XTP in a light blue Harvester EZ load sabot. The accuracy of that rifle was amazing. And I was wondering... what size powerbelts do they sell for that caliber, and would they shoot well?
