Default 300gr Powerbelt Aerolite VS... ...

NOT A WATER JUG!

Just a teaser for now. I am to beat right now to give the story or do any video editing tonight.


They sure do act differently in water jugs though! Personally I prefer in the field, actual result tests such as this one.

Wow, that toothpick you duct-taped to your bullet never penetrated.

what did you shoot? How much powder did you use? What distance was the shot made at? And did you get total pass through? That is a nice entrance hole I believe I am looking at.

When I am able to upload the video, all the info will be made. It was an extremely great hunt though! One LONG evening and night of hiking.

Notice the lung? It looked like that through both sides!

i started shooting aerolites a couple of seasons ago but have yet to take an animal with them so i'm definitely going to be paying attention to your findings

There you go. Un-disputable proof that Powerbelts don't work on game. Same thing happened to me when I shot a big old doe with one. I had to track her almost a full 50 yards.
