[QUOTE="348Winchester, post: 5449959, member: 11952"] I have used many of the different Powerbelts over the last 17 years or so. I started with the 245 grain hollow points. They did not give enough penetration. Went up to the 270 grain platinum and had inconsistent results. Some gave full penetration, some did not. Moved up to the 295 grain hollow point and still very few pass throughs. Finally went to the 348 grain hollow point and started getting consistent pass throughs but little to no expansion. Finally settled on the 348 pure lead hollow point. It passes through and leaves a good exit wound. The blood trails are very good. I use 100 grains of Triple-7. Powerbelt bullets deliver excellent accuracy in my rifle and load very easily as well. Try the 348 grain pure lead hollow points. You will probably find your solution. [/QUOTE]
