RE: How to use a Powerbelt Bullet Correctly

My experience with PBs is rather limited but, FWIW, seems to agree with what frontier gander's posted. To date, I've not killed anything with them, however.

Mine's a Ruger 77 Mk II, and it doesn't bother me any more than a .30-06. I was surprised it wasn't worse. Even my Ruger 77 .338WM isn't bad.
