Why don't you like powerbelt? I have noticed that the bullet always lodges just under the skin on the opposite side. What bullet will me a pass through?
Read my post about 3 posts up. I personally feel they are absolute junk and stand behind my opinion. One thing about me, If I have an opinion about a product it is ALWAYS based on real life experiences with it.
PATCHED ROUND BALL!!!
Sorry guys I just couldn't stand it any more!! HEHEHEEEE!!!!
I've never hunted with a patched round ball but am thinking it would be cool. When I get my Panther finished I may just go the whole route with the traditional loose powder and balls. Do you pour your own lead or buy the balls pre-made? Just curious. I'm thinking I want to expand my hunting opportunities. Can you list your whole set-up as far as loads, powder types, patches, balls, etc? Maybe in a different post...I don't want to hijack this one. Thanks :>)
I've used that 223gr power belt for the past 5 or 6 years and have had no problems at all. I shot 3 deer with them and none of them went out of my sight before kicking the bucket. Also, last year I shot a big doe up in PA that was at least 180lbs and it dropped her like a rock. She was about 60yds away. BUT - this year I plan on using the Hornady 240gr w/sabot w/2 50gr pyrodex pellets. Nothing against the power belt. I switched mainly because of the price comparison. Yes, I'm cheap.
I wouldn't shoot a powerbelt if they gave me a lifetime supply of them, and a free Kansas hunt
Agreed.
I got a free pack of them with my first inline and the first several bucks I shot with them I never got any blood trail at all. I am talking about 30-40 yards shots in the vitals with slight shoulder in it. Never again would I shoot them and I threw away the rest of the powerbelts!
Hornadys or T/C bullets all the way!
