Well, at 56 and having hunted Colorado since my mid 20s, I have killed a number of elk with a muzzleloader. At least 3 with powerbelts, but the last 4 with Hornady FPBs. I did lose one with a powerbelt, and I will never know why because I didn't recover him. I can tell you that I am more confident with a 350 gr FPB bullet that is a lead alloy than I was with the 348 aerotip. One of those FPB kills was at a steep uphill angle and busted through the upper leg bone (humerus) at the elbow and took out the heart. That is probably the heaviest bone in the body. There is no way that would have happened with a powerbelt. The FPB flies accurately, is a tougher constructed bullet that mushrooms well, and is cheaper than powerbelts. What is not to love?
However, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, so your set up is a great one for you.
