Ohiobucks Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Shot this 295gr Powerbelt into a soft stump from about 40 yards away, using 100 gr T7 in my Traditions Buckhunter Pro inline 209. Thought the result was pretty cool. I dumped a doe last Tuesday with this setup, she left a 70 yard bloodtrail a blind man could have followed.

Tominator Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: Check out the Powerbelt... Yep, I was there. Very impressive. My bullet didn't fare so well, as I hit the oil jug I was aiming for. Tom missed the oil jug but centered that stump like nobody's business. I was there for Tom's doe too. Wish you guys could've seen the stumble and sommersault track left in the mud when she piled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockefeller66 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: Check out the Powerbelt... that is the exact same setup we use, only we shot TC Encores! They look like they should do the job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: Check out the Powerbelt... That is interesting, as I have shot and recovered them outta dirt embankment, and they have hardly deformed, and I am shooting darn near the same setup, except for powder...
