That might be too hot for a powerbelt. Lane is probably right, slowing them down helps. (or so I've been told)
I used to shoot a 348 grain bullet with 90 grains of loose regular pyrodex and I was STILL getting inconsistent results with them. Some would penetrate, some would come apart like a grenade.
At that point I figured why the heck I am sacrificing velocity for some fall apart bullet (as you can tell I am not a big fan), and switched to bullets that will withstand any velocity.
