RE: How to use a Powerbelt Bullet Correctly
TTT= To The Top....Meaning another post to throw the topic back to the top of the list so that others can see it.
IMO, this topic and thread are very informative and helpful. Frontier's postings have been knowledgeable and clear on what conclusions HIS use of PBs have shown and how they are most effective. As with anything, opinionsand attitudes vary. Not all broadheads will work effectively for every bowhunter, not all bullets will work effectively for every gunhunter. BUT, experiences like his help everyone elsemake sound judgements and decisions. I, for one, am going to use what's easiest and most accurate in my gun. This happens to be PBs until something else comes along.
If anyone else has experiences in using PBs effectively, I'd like to hear those as I'm sure a few others would like to hear them also. If the posts are just to bang on them and tell how someone thinks they are worthless.....there's another thread somewhere in here for that. If you'll post to it, instead of here, it'll save those of us with interest in this thread the wasted time of reading that particular opinion when we're looking for a useful one to this topic.
Thanks FG, keep 'em coming.

well good. Glad you are having great luck.
What kind of distances are we looking at in your hunting areas? Longest distance deer traveled?
Was that recovered bullet from a shoulder or lung shot?

i also think that around 300grn bullets work a lot better then the light ones do. i say shoot heavier bullets and knock them down.
