Hi BL1,
I normally use Powerbelt 295 gr. Copper Aerotips for deer with good success. I changed to the hp's because they are a little less expensive and I like to practice quite a bit. I shot a nice wt buck this past Dec. at 125 yards. The entry did not hit any large bone mass but when I dressed the deer I found that the bullet had shattered into fragments and the green compression cup was also inside the deer. I also feel the deer went too far after a real good hit (125-150 yds).
This is the only problem I have ever had with Powerbelt products. I have heard that the 270 and 300 gr. Aerotip Platinum's are hard hitters.
