Here's how i see it, if you have some .250 TEZ barnes bullets and you shoot a T/C and 100 grs powder.that bullet is extremely accurate no question there. if you want softer lead for the wife and the boy due to light powder charges then a XTP is a good choice and costs far less than a power belt.later on you can experiment with the .250 gold dot/deep curl for your T/C in .50 cal or .40 cal and maybe the wifes .and eventually your boys when your able to up his powder load later.and a longer list of quality bullets to try later. my.02.

I agree - powerbelts are for kids:wink:

My son (7 years old) shoots the 223 grain with a 50 grain charge of pyrodex Select out of his CVA Wolf. He is holding a 6-7 inch group at 80 yards with them (field shooting, not bench)

some Grown men cant even do that!

That's cuz there shooting PB's lmao!:poke:

grown man on my forum, new guy with an Accura muzzy loader just posted a group from 100 yards with 150gr pellets and the 245gr Powerbelt. Under an inch. Proud of that one!

I'd second the vote on using the .40 cal 200 grain XTP. This bullet does very well at lower velocities and is very affordable. With 60 - 70 grains of powder it is like shooting a .22-250 and will perform well on deer. You can order them online at Cabelas and several other places.

that's good shooting for sure MD.to bad that bullet would blow up if he hit a deer with it at shorter ranges.

powerbelt
 

in my hawkins T/C.50 cal flintlock the best bullet is the POWERBELT.it loads easy and is very accurate.nice thing about it i dont like a lot of recoil/smoke/noise.
those PB will open on deer at middle of ground velocity.
295 i like but the 348 is good too.245 dont use it.

i use no more than 80 grs of geox 2F or 70grs 3f with a bore button.

if i had in-line i would never use PB .unless you shoot very low charges.most i know want their in-lines at high charge.

IN FLINTLOCK,OPEN SIGHTS,SHOTS UNDER 100 YDS THERE IS NO BETTER BULLET THAN POWERBELT 295/348 AT MEDIUM CHARGE.

Yep! i think that is a given.... Never have said they were not accurate.

Power what? :biggrin:

Loads easy and wont frag. :D
