I have not shot any myself but i believe the genral consensus is stay away from them. For the 50 i think most are shooting XTPs, SST, FTX, Rem JHP, Barnes MZ and im sure i missed a few. The 45 most are shooting XTPs, Nosler JHP, SST, Barnes MZ and hopefulley Rangeballs new bullet.

The powerbelts are a soft lead lightly plated bullet. As such I'm not sure they're up to smokeless pressure unless the load is kept very mild.
If you like the sabotless aspect in a .50 take a look at the thor bullets.

Also, they fit Soooooooooooooooooo loose, you will probably not get ignition  Do not waste any money on them, period! Richard |

Savage says NO PBs with smokeless and i cant imagine why anyone would considering they grenade at even sub speeds.
