anyone else have powerbelt problems? they shoot good out of my ML and look good on paper but suck in the field. i recently shot a whitetail at 67 yards using the 245 grain aero tip powerbelts in front of 150 grains of pyrodex pellets. the bullet found it's mark but fragmented up inside the deer's cavity without exiting. i could not locate one solid piece of the powerbelt when field dressing the deer.
my father also uses powerbelts and had the same problem one week before my episode. his deer was only 15 yards away and once again, no exit with the powerbelts. i like using the powerbelts because they shoot good in my rifle, load easy and are easier to keep up with. should i try using a heavier powerbelt bullet or switch to a different bullet type?
