    Has anyone measured how much POI difference there is between 55 and 62gn Belmont? I have only had a chance to use the 55gn, which is god stuff.

    Same practical poi as far as I can figure out. When I ran out and borrowed some 55s midway through a goat job. We were shooting from right in front to just under 300 yds. Yes there were misses but it wasn't target shooting.
    One thing Belmont seem to change projectile depending on availability I guess. It is recorded on the lid of the can, I gave had 2 tins of Hornady so and the current one is speer so I believe these are their gold dot projectiles. They are definitely a different shape but shoot to the same practical poi.
