Has anyone ever measured (mic) a .50 cal powerbelt?

Triple Se7en

Mine are the original version Powerbelts.

My 245 copper HPs miked at .498

My 405 leaded HPs miked at .497

I'm guessing both have a born-on date of 2003 -- a time frame when Powerbelt Inc offered two package diameters... I think green-colored for the original Belts - then red-colored for "All ML Bores".

i just started using hollow pointpowerbelts. question, do i have to go out and buy those newends for ramrods and starter to push a powerbelt in or can i just use starter i have now andone i have on my ramrod. i hate going out and buying more things than i have now.

Triple Se7en

All you can do is try them with the tools you have. Most go down the bore relatively easy with regular swabbing & no crud ring issues.

i've been shooting these and without any fancy tools..
just like Triple Se7en stated they're easy to load..

my fancy starter is my thumb and i use my ram rod, that
came with rifle. thus far they just slide right down and with no bullet tip
injury.. hardley any force at all, maybe index finger worth..

thanks seven/45 bill,i cant see also how the tools we have now will hurt hollow point.on the aero tip, i could see it but not on hollow point also.
