Default 295 grain Powerbelt

Check this out, I pulled this out of a cedar log late this evening. I shot it with 100 grains Pyrodex P @ 58 yards.
Check out the mass on this sucker! I've never had one stay so thick.

295 grain HP powerbelt,

those 295 all lead pbs are wicked. I am going to try out of the wmc one of these days, just for kicks.

Copper series. The only way to keep the copper coating on them is to slow them down. The only copper that usually stays on the powerbelts is at the base and holds it together.
The all lead powerbelts expand massively. I want to try some of those too.

Opened it up so you could see what i mean about the copper staying together at the base of the bullet. Should have hit it with a flash light for a better view but this will have to do.
