Sometimes I think little digs are made just to start things.
Or its a reaction to constantly being told they are the best thing since sliced bread (regardless of what is being discussed), when in fact they have a very narrow range of acceptable proformance and have a well documented history of failure when strict guidlines are not followed.
And you pay a premium for all that.

The Hornady bullets I bought were High Speed Low Drag 300 gr. EZ load. I took the Powerbelts back to the store. They had Shockwaves, but only in 250 ish so I will wait for more 300's.

I have 777 and Pyro 50 gr pellets. I also now have Shockey's Gold sticks.I guess starting with 100 gr. will do?
I just had my newKRB laser boarsighted, so it should be easy to get sighted in if I don't use the Powerbelts! J/K!

Never had that problem, I often wonder where they been hit if they have a blood trail problem, if you hit them in the wrong place I could understand why on blood trail. Lee
