powerbelt aerotip vs powerbelt hollowpoint
« on: January 01, 2004, 04:24:05 PM »
is a 275 grain powerbelt hp and a 275 grain powerbelt aero tip the same bullet(less the plastic tip)? Is the plastic aerotip for better accuracy or for more penetration before it expands?

The company claims that the aerotips are for better penetration and slower expansion.

Aerotips are more accurate out of my guns.

No difference I can detect at 100 yards as far as accuracy.

No difference here either, infact I have shot my best groups with the HP's, but I have also sent a lot more of those down range than the Aerotips.
