Wife picked up some powerbelts by accident. Anyone have good performance on deer with the 295 grain hollow points?

Trade em, or trash em. They pancake flate on bone , hate em
The 295's were too soft for me to like. I never had a deer get away but I wasn't pleased with the penetration.
I switched to the Harvester Crush Rib sabots with whatever bullet I wanted to shoot. They load as easily as a powerbelt, shoot extremely accurate and allow me to shoot whatever weight and diameter bullet I want based on sabot size.

IMHO, powerbelts are the worst muzzleloading bullet on the market.
Spot on right here. They're accurate but that's about it. Hornady XTPs are tried and true.
