But you are welcome to be a good little advertising agent for CVA and Powerbelt while the hunters that actually have a clue about our equipment will use better bullets so our shots aren't limited by 50% of target area.

I don't consider myself an expert by any means Flint, but what I do have is well over 3000 hog kills, over 500 whitetail kills, 46 Elk kills, 34 Moose kills, 28 Black Bear kills, 4 Brown Bear (actual hunts, add 2 self defense) and 2 Musk Ox. I've loaded my own ammo for well over 50 years so yes Flint I do have just a smidge of knowledge about terminal ballistics and how a bullet SHOULD perform. I'd pretty much bet I have taken more animals with a ML'er in years past than you and MD combined. And no all those animals weren't taken with a ML'er but a good portion was. Both the Musk Ox were. 11 of the Black Bear were. 8 or 9 of the Moose were. 16 of the Elk were. 40 or so of the Whitetails were. 200 or so of the Hogs were.

I've personally witnessed the horrendous performance of powerbelt bullets on game. Had to chase down quite a few wounded animals for friends that fell for the ads thinking the powerbelts were the cream of the crop. Again I will say it, they are usually fantastic as far as accuracy for a Full Bore bullet and hell I'd probably use them for competition but on live game? Hell no. Just too many bullets out there that fly well enough and outperform powerbelts terminally for half the price.

As far as your comment about the safety of CVA barrels and such, I think I'll let their record of law suits and payoffs speak for itself there.
