[Thunderhawk]

T/C Thunderhawk

100 gr Blackhorn 209 Powder

245 gr Powerbelt Hollow points

[Rusty]

Back when I was hunting ML I was very disappointed in the Powerbelts.  They fly great but don't expand well on deer, as a result they didn't drop deer as quickly as faster expanding bullets.  Also, due to their lack of expansion they left less of a blood trail than other bullets.  

 

I like short blood trails with lots of blood.
