[QUOTE="RUGER, post: 823964, member: 275"] Back some time ago there was a rather extensive "test" performed here on the site. For almost an entire off season the powerbelt / barnes comparison was running rampant. So when the season started there were SEVERAL people that used these bullets respectively that posted the results from their hunts. We posted stuff like shot distance, shot placement, passthrough or not, distance traveled after the shot and whether or not the deer was recovered. I still wish I had saved all that because I was amazed at a couple things. Number one, I don't think a single powerbelt passed through the deer and as far as I can remember not one barnes failed to pass through. When it was all said and done and the smoke cleared (pun intended) the most amazing statistic was this. Number of un-recoverd deer were..... ZERO. Neither bullet produced a wounded and lost animal. Pretty much what MFBAB just posted summed the entire season up. [/QUOTE]
