RE: muzzleloaders
I have a question, Why do you need such a heavy bullet for deer? I bought .50 cal 250 gr power belt bullets for my muzzle loader and they shoot great but I've never shot a deer with it yet. Do you really need the extra weight so the bullet holds together? Just curious.

a 250GR POWERBELT WILL DROP ONE DEAD In its tracks. (sorry for caps). I have been thinking about going back to powerbelt. I love the full caliber size. They are really accurate and I like the hollowpoint better than the tipped bullets.

I have shot deer with balls to 460 cronicals, they all work when put in the right spot. The 250 classhas accounted for the majority of my deer harvests with an inline and haven't felt I needed more from 30-210 yards.

RE: muzzleloaders
The only bad thing about the powerbelt is the low BC. Theyre very blunt because of being full caliber. But they still shoot good out to about 150. I use the hornady xtp mag now because they carry energy better at 100+yds. But the powerbelts hit very hard.
