Anyway hope that helps some of you wondering about the EP hitting high. It did not seem that they are hitting higher than the other ammo from my gun. I'm glad to see it is feeding something in the conversation for a bear round, no failures today except the one shot fired with the 24lb spring.
I did not try the Extreme Penetrators with the factory barrel although I thought about it for the benefit of others reading this. I have made the investment in the KKM barrel and I thought I should just use it for my test. This ammo is to dang expensive for me to burn in a barrel I probably won't ever use since buying the aftermarket one. If someone wants to send me $35 I will sure run 20 through my stock barrel and report back, but otherwise I'm going to keep running the KKM.
Since I'm this deep in this project last night I got online and ordered a couple boxes of Double Tap. I got the 200gr and 230gr Hardcast loads. I'm going to shoot both. Then I'll have tried all 3 of the companies I hear about most bear ammo. I'll make a choice on what's best for my gun from there.
