Well I have to agree with Pluckit ont he 50 PRB and blood trails. I too have found them almost non-existant. As for the Maxihunters Dave hates I have killed several deer with them and found them plenty accurate enough out of at least one of my MLs. My friend uses them and gets excellent accuracy. He shot a doe at 110 yds one snowy January day a few years back that I pushed into him. Powerbelts - the biggest does I ever shot was with a 245 gr .50 cal PB. I recovered her but wasn't too impressed with the performance of the bullet. I was a perfect double lung hit with a pass thru but not much tissue damage. My fav bullet is the XTP. This bullet in the .400 cal 200 gr or the .429" 300 gr for the MLs as well as the 240 gr .429" in my handgun has never let me down on dear. No deer I ever shot with either of these went more than 50 yds.
