 I received this ammo along with the Air Freedom Rounds from John Mullins of Extreme Shock. I have to say. The idea behind this ammo is great. The Website states that “The Enhanced Penetration Round (EPR) was engineered for applications where greater penetration is a must. The EPR has greater terminal success through glass, light sheet metal, (such as automobile steel), and wood. This round has the ability to penetrate heavy skin, dense bone, and then fragment once inside the softer tissue of the target. The deep penetrating characteristics of the EPR make it the ideal round for street duty officers, as well as, serious handgun hunters. This round will also fragment on any surface that would cause a lead bullet to ricochet.” The numbers look good on this to0, 115gr bullet, travels at 1182 fps and delivers 385ft lbs of energy. No on to the testing.
The sheetrock test. This test showed that the EPR round went through 9 layers of Sheetrock and shattered to dust on the 10th. Exactly what it claims. This is a great ammo if you were to be in an Urban Scenario and need the extra penetration ( car door, glass ect)
I also tested this on the 22 Gauge sheet setup. This is 3 sheets of 22 gauge steel (basically a car consists of 2 22 gauge layers, the 3rd is just for good measure) It blew threw all 3 like butter, and then shattered on the 3rd layer of sheetrock. All and all.. exactly what they claim.
My Opinion: This is a great hunting round, Great penetration and outright stopping power.
