Power belt .50 cal 250 grain ballistics

Can’t find any ballistic information for these. Wondering what everyone is using for powder volume, and if there is any ballistic info. The booklet that came with the bullets don’t even have it! Using open sights for Colorado, but was just curious what people are using for powder charge…black horn 209…..
Thanks!

Following. I have an upcoming muzzloader hunt and I was planning on using my 325 grain ELR Powerbelt. Any help would be appreciated.

Can’t help you with Powerbelts (I wouldn’t use them) but …. you can either chrono your speed or look it up in published data and run the numbers through a ballistic calculator.

If you’re hunting elk, using powerbelts introduces an unnecessary risk of complete bullet failure in case of a shoulder hit.
I would not use them again… if you still have time before your hunt I’d look elsewhere

It’s for deer, 250 grain. Last year I shot a spike at 290 yards. Dropped in his tracks with the 330 grain power belt. Love em. I was just looking for some powder charge advice. You won’t talk me out of the pwerbelt elr,

Killed a bunch of elk with them.

I really like them. Everyone has their own opinions on everything, some work better for others…..I’ve formed my own opinion on them, and all I would like is some input on powder charges!
