I'd like to do my own bullet testing on reloads, and test for expansion as well penetration and how well a bullet stays together. I've got a fantastic BLM shooting site so I don't need to be concerned with range rules.
Is it just me or does ballistic gelatin seem too soft and lacking bone-like material? I've never played with the stuff first hand, so I don't really know.
I've heard of phonebooks and cardboard pressed together. I had my own idea of using wet concrete cement, small rocks and all, maybe a few branches tossed in. Although that would require me to hurry if I expected to recover any bullets.
Thoughts and ideas?
