You can get 50 PT Golds for the price of 15 premium Powerbelts.
You can also get 50 No Excuses bullets for the price of Powerbelts.
You can get 15 FPB bullets $10 cheaper than 15 Powerbelts.
The point is, all these bullets are better than Powerbelts, and are cheaper. Why would anybody use Powerbelts?
That's a small list. Even as good as Barnes and Thors are they don't cost more than Powerbelts.
Powerbelts have only one thing going for them besides a great sales pitch..........they load easy. That's it!
They group the best for me, and that is a big factor. I have taken 4 Whitetails with the PB, with not one problem yet. Yes, they may be overpriced, but until they give me reason to switch, I will keep using them. I tried the thors last year, and even tho they are suppose to be a good bullet, I could never get them to group as well as the PB.
