Ok, you got me.
The bullet was a Powerbelt Aero-tip platinum in .50 cal and 270 gr. I use 2 Pyrodex pellets making 100 gr. The Powerbelts have a wad/patch built into the base of the bullet that comes off after ignition. The slugs are a hollow point with a polimer(sp)tip like a Nosler partition. I shot my elk with a 348gr. and it stayed intact at 94% weight retention. All of the deer i have shot the slugs have exploded and ruind both front shoulders. Time to try a new one.
Good enough Dave??[cool]
