Default RE: barnes expanders

Do they sell all copper powerbelts? I have been using lead core, copper plated powerbelts. They put about a 2.5" entrance hole and no exit hole. I found pieces of the bullet as far away as in the neck. Too much meat ruined for me. Anyway, is this a problem with all lead cored bullets, as I have shot T/C shockwaves that came with the gun. I got real nice groups with them, but never hunted with anything other than the powerbelts.
============================================

Sounds like new cost-cutting measures with copper-clad Powerbelts has lessened their quality. Hhmmm... will have to keep an eye on more exploding copper Powerbelt posts. May have to quit recommending them if this continues.

Thanks for the feedback
