[QUOTE="Hook1, post: 821264, member: 5382"] I wanna hear what ya'll think about them,,,I was readin in another post about the lighter 245's not passing thru on deer and the heavier 300's doing the job,,,but I quit using them just for the reason mentioned,,,I could not get a 245 to pass thru a doe at 15yds broadside purposely shooting thru the lungs,,,(prefer high shoulder shot),,,she dropped within sight, but no blood till U got with a few feet of her and that is another dislike,,,no blood trail,,,bud shot a buck 2 years ago right at dark and we waited till the next morning to try and find him,,,we went back and found 3 drops of blood where he was standing,,,that was it!,,,not the first time this had happened, but we had recovered previous deer,,,not this one though,,,we found him 3 days later and the shot looked perfect at entrance but no exit at all,,,I worked skinning deer 2 years ago and could almost tell ya every deer that was shot with a powerbelt,,,there would be the entrance but no exit,,,you would find the bullet just under the skin,,,I started my own collection of spent powerbelts and I had stack of them when I stopped working there,,,they do kill deer but I want something that is going to make them bleed because all shots are not perfect.
