FG,

What is your goal that you are trying to achieve with the PBs? If it is reduced recoil, have you considered the T/C 200gr Shock Wave?

James
FG is the "defender of the PB". There is a long running bullet war on this forum concerning PBs. You either love them and know how to use them (as evidenced by FG) or you hate them and avoid them, even for plinking (I gave 4 packages of 15 to FG, since I knew he would make good use of them, and he did by doing several 295 HP Copper Clad experiments). If you want to read about PB bullet wars, which we should NOT repeat here, since they become very heated and basically non-friendly and non-helpful you can read this:

or here: http://www.the-gleasons.com/powerbelt_page.htm

My content is old. I believe FG has taken the right apprach by educating himself and everyone on this board on how PBs should be shot. I do intent to place most of FG shooting on my web site, he has done some very nice tests with several diffent weightsof PB bullets.

You will also notice on the Powerbelt website that those #'s are with Pellets not loose powder. Loose powder recommended is 80-90g. Its in the manual that comes with each package of bullets.

I wouldn't say that i am the "Defender" Of Powerbelt bullets. I would say that i am a hunter who uses them often, shoots a lot of them and loves to play with them and make the info available to others.
Im the "Tester" :D

Saxman wanted the 245 AT and the 270's tested, he sent them to me, I tested them and forward the results to him So he knows what will work for him on deer.

Even made my own round ball for hunters that want a ball that expands easily and will penetrate, and i call it the Powerball. Only available to me of course :D

OK, Tester of the Powerbelts. You do a good job testing them, very clear to see where they start to come apart. Chap
