Default Which mechanicals at 300fps?

Well guys my 70# Patriot dually is shooting my 400gr gold tips at 298 fps...

The other day I was out practicing w/ my broadheads... I was shooting the Magnus Stingers, Wackems, and Muzzy Phantoms... all of which shot right w/ my field points...

Then I thought I'd try out one of the Wasp Jack Hammers that I had in my broadhead box... Well about 3/4 of the way to the target the arrow takes off at an upward angle.. just skimming the top of the target.. Which means that it opened in flight. I was only using a single O ring.. should I just double O ring them.. or is there a better expandable head for these kinds of speeds?

I was considering the Grim Reapers.. and a few others.. I want something w/ a pretty decent cutting diameter (1.5" +).. I'm going on a bear trip in a few weeks.. and I want the best advantage while tracking these bad boys.

TIA...
