RE: barnes, noslers, or powerbelts

I use the Barnes and am very impressed with them. I have read good reports on the others also and I plan to try them but havn't yet.

RE: barnes, noslers, or powerbelts

In my Navy Arms .50 the 295 grain Powerbelts are fantastic. It is a 1 in 28" twist and the Powerbelts give awsome groups. Last year I couldn't get groups under 5" at 100 yards using several off the rack sabot/bullet combos. The powerbelts ended my grouping problems.
I have not tried the others you mentioned.

RE: barnes, noslers, or powerbelts

Well it all depends on what rifle you are shooting and what groups best in your gun. If you are shooting black powder or pyrodex then I would strongly suggest the Barnes if your rifle will group them well. They are AWSOME on game! Very reliable expansion. If you have a Savage and are shooting smokeless powder, then the other jacketed bullets will serve you well.
