I showed you that pic also Muley. He posted it on WHC in his thread about Aerolite performance.

He said it left a 3" entrance hole. Over expansion is the ONLY way a bullet of that design is going to leave a 3" entrance wound.....Its quite simple..it pancaked and fragged into bits.

Personally i don't hunt deer with a bullet that acts like a varmint bullet on impact. Most ethical hunters don't.

These are HIS words not mine.

The powerbelt is a pure lead "soft" conical with a massive hollow point that prevents it from penetrating, and 99% of the time, fragment its hundreds of little pieces.

This is what i found when i did an in the field test with the 250gr Aerolite. Accurate as hell, but at $30 a package, this kind of fragmentation should not be happening. But again, soft lead with a HUGE hollow point, what did the engineer expect was going to happen?
