I had a Powerbelt “failure” years ago. .50 cal 240 or 250 gr bullet (fuzzy memory) with 100gr pyrodex. Shoot a big doe broadside in the shoulder. Found her 100-120 yards later with little blood. Never found the bullet but did find pieces of copper jacket in the mess. I threw them in the trash and have been using 45 cal Gold dots in sabots and they mushroom just like the advertisement pics. I was disappointed because they shot really accurate in my rifle.
I had the same exact result with Powerbelts years ago. First and last time I used them. I went back to Hornday XTP and SSTs.
