I think he must have a double vested interest, I did not say they would not do anything, only that when you load them right they wii blow up a coyote, and I did that. Lee

Are you SURE you don't have a vested interest? Othewise, you might consider a 12-step program.
12 stepmight be7 0r 8steps shy of enough

Not sure why anyones ass is being mentioned - or that I really want to know.

The great thing about freedom is being able to choose what you want to use.
I'm sure any bullett on the market when properly loaded and charged will kill whatever it is shot at.
Don't like Powerbelts? don't shoot them or knock the folks who do.
I killed two deer in Alabama last season that had no complaint's about the powerbelt that dropped them where they stood.
Sometimes I think little digs are made just to start things.
Please feel free to shoot the projectile of your choice,I would love to see the testing reports and pictures and the kill shots and will be the first to congradulate you.

Well yeah. If you can't pick on gander, who can you pick on?

(Anyway, if you're going to shoot PBs, read his stuff and follow his suggestions. I thinkhe's got it right - but don't tell him I said so.)

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.

Well, I ended up buying the Hornady SST Easy Load 300 gr. and Powerbelt Platnum 300 gr. I hope one will fly good enough for 100 yards out of my KRB.

My goto load is hornady xtp 300g mag with 90g of loose 777. I am zeroed at 00 yards and it will group well.

My ass!

FG, He didn't call your mother a name or you a name, you have too much emotional investment in PB.
There is no 12 program forML shooters yet, butwe could start a chapter in Meeker Co . Not all believe you should shoot bullet in an inline at 1200-1400 fps with 80g of 777, just like not everyone believes they should shoot STRONG bullet, which is what I believe and preach every chance I get.
Not everyone has been on the forum and seen your PB results and pancakes either, us regulars have, but not the newbys.
