I use them in my CVa paramount 45 cal. I've had good luck with them so far. This is my group at 100 yards. I shoot out to 900 yards with them. If you buy some make sure they have a lot number on the package. When they first came out there was some bad ones but they did not have a lot number on the package.
 
From our experiences, they need to be used with hot powder charges. At lower charges - and we were using 90 grns of 777 - the accuracy was poor.
 
I killed my personal best wit Powerbelts but the bullet comes apart. Didn't get first drop of blood til over 150 yards from poi
I did a test on a McMaster Carr catalog and same thing.

That's why we switched to the very heavy PBs. 348s and 405s. No more problem with the bullets coming apart and no blood trails. Biggest problem is, they're not making many of the heavier bullets.

Powerbelt Bullets!!

Fury universals. I haven’t hunted with them yet but bought some to shoot out of my Remington 700 Ultimate and they shoot great. They are bonded and most reviews about their performance (mostly on elk) I’ve read seem to be good ones. I just got some Fury 265gr STB in .452 to try out. They are...
