Knight Ultimate Slam (made by Barnes) 6/15/07 same powder, charge and primer as above

Harvester Scorpion PT Gold 300g 7/21/07 same powder, chage and primer as above

Parker Ballistic Extreme 275g 7/21/07 same powder, charge as above, but Winchester primer, hard to get out

Shooting 9/3/07 Winchester Primer 44g 5744:  TC ShockWave 300g Bonded,  Parker Ballistic Extreme 275g,  Barnes TMZ 290g,  TC SW Unbonded 300g

I chose the Parker Ballistic Extrement because I read fragmentation problems with the 250 SW and the bonded SW shot thru without expansion.  After I choose the PBE, I saw this on another forum.  In my opinion, the PBE was the right choice.  The URL to the article is here:
