Nothing wrong with that. But a couple things about "Powerbelts." First, they come in different sizes. A 348 is not a 250. Second, they are softer than some bullets, so 80-90 grains of powder is your sweet spot.

But most guys who say they won't work on elk haven't shot elk with them.


I wasn't throwing rocks at you or your experience, in fact I appreciate sharing it with us. Bullets are one thing I've never thought twice about spending money. I always try to use a bullet that enables me to shoot whatever I'm hunting at any angle at any reasonable range. The reason I tend to use Nosler Partitions for everything - certainly don't need a partition to kill a deer.

Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
