i have not used both yet but the 245 power belts were not good with my gun. i thought that there was something wrong with my gun. the 245s shot all over the place. i have talked with alot of other guys and they have had the same problem. but i have heard that the 295 grain shoots very well in most gun. i found out it was not the gun but i have not tried the 295s yet. i was using 90 grains of goex clear shot. i found out that a round ball shoots very good out of the inlines with a 209 primer. they will touch holes at 80 yards.
