Howdy folks. My American Rifleman magazine came in a few days ago and I was paging through it. I found an article on practical bullet testing (because we all can't afford ballistics gelatin) for the common shooter. The medums the mentioned were water, paper, clay and wood. I got to thinking (scary thought huh?) when my wife told me that her and my oldest daughter made homemade playdough. How would playdough work for ballistics testing? It's cheap to make (flour, jello, and water) and easy to come by. How much would I need for 9mm (from a pistol) and .22lr/.22 short (from a rifle)? What about for bigger stuff like 20ga, 12ga, .308 win, etc?
