deputy, if yur hearing stories at the shops abuot loseing deer from power belts something is very wrong with the shooters eather taking bad shots or to long a shot with out a scope or the individuals are thinking that the bullit will penatreta trees or branches, don't listen to them, because as a matter in fact that bullet will more than do its job i have killed three deer with the power belt bullets one useing 285gr, 1w/325, and one with a 325gr all lead power belt, all dropped in there tracks and did not move , all shots were with in 75 yards and all but one was a broad side shot the last one was a quartering toward me shot that one even bounced when she was hit.my close friend killed four this year and dropped two hog with the 285gr power belts, oh yea we live in georgia and can this year kill 10 does and 2 bucks.still waiting for my buck to show up.
