[QUOTE="T. J. Mercer, post: 5488532, member: 2387"] Wise ones, I am at my wit's end. More than once, I have taken well-placed shots on wall-mounter bucks, and I never get pass-through. Friends have told me it's a problem with PowerBelts. I'm shooting 100 gr of White Hots with 270 gr PowerBelts. I have no struggle with accuracy. My shots this far: 15 yds (harvested after 100 yd run, ZERO blood trail, got lucky to see the white belly across a ravine) 20 yds (never ran, just stood there, licked the air and fell over -- very strange) 25 yds (quartering away, shot just behind the shoulder blade, should have exited -- never found a drop, I know I hit it -- never recovered -- this was Monday) 65 yds -- knocked it over -- spent 11 min making a crop circle before springing up and teaching me the most valuable lesson of always reloading -- never recovered it The pic is the one I didn't recover this week. Looking back at camera pics, I realize he might only be 2.5, but all that bone in the moment ... I'd like to know if others have had similar experiences, if I'm doing something wrong, or if you have suggestions. Thanks, and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving! [/QUOTE]
