[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1782060, member: 13110"] The lighter Powerbelts can have poor penetration on elk. I started with the light ones and then switched to the 348's in my .50. The heavier bullets kill elk a lot better. I've shot about 15 cows with mostly Powerbelts and a few saboted 250 and 300 Hornady SST's. The furthest were 184 and 208yds. 2 of my 3 700ML's love 100grs by volume or 85grs by weight of triple 7 and a 348 Powerbelt. I use the Lyman globe sight with inserts on the front and the factory rear sight. The Lyman sight is way better if your going to shoot past your sight in distance so you don't have to cover what your shooting at. The only better way would be to use a rear peep with a dial adjustment like a scope on the rear. They are just harder to use in low light conditions. [/QUOTE]
