Default RE: Another powerbelt question

BC,

I really try not to add to controversy to dicussions, but the pictures of PB's that TA posted show me exactly what I thought I knew....

Where is the lead? What is suppose to carry this projectile through the body? What happens if you hit a major bone first? I really hate to say this I sure can see why some people are dis-appointed with the PB and also why T7 recommends copper jacketed PB's. If it wasn't for the copper there wouldn't be anything left.

I know they work for some but, I also know if you have an option their are better projectiles out there. Cayugad and Surveyor both convinced me if I was unable to use sabots - I would have to look very hard at "No Excuse" bullets. I ran the ballistics on them from projected velocities and for a heaviiiiii bullet the act ran out there fairly well.
