Biker, anyone who references Jethro Tull like that can call me a trouble-maker anyday. :p

And Hemicuda - I am a liberal. But I bet I've owned and shot guns longer'n you. ;) (40+ years...been so long, I'm no longer sure. :uhoh: )

Biker - I know how you like .45LC! :) One of these days I will break down and test this caliber - the reason why half of 'The Cartridges of the World' are not featured on my website, is because I need to borrow a gun to shoot the ammo! :)

RE the donations - Shadan7 is really going out of his way by covering shipping and the gelatin...

@Everyone else : Here is what I will do, with your permission - if you are looking to donate a dollar or two to the 'donate' icon on my site, drop me a line and I will list your username on this thread. It is all done through Paypal ... and I am not sure what Shadan7 is planning with the remainder of the gelatin, but this might be an area where you can help out.

Please note that 200lbs of gelatin powder makes 90 pistol-sized blocks of ballistic gelatin...:D

Thank you all very much!

I would like to thank:

Lou Marchesani Heating and Air Conditioning
Rosemont, PA

For their kind contribution to my website.

Without external support from viewers of the website, much of the testing that I have done would not be possible. It's like PBS, but with GUNS! :)

Thank you,

JE223

They still have those? Oh the humanity!

I think we need to chip in and get Biker a new computer and connection after donating to JE223.

Just sent you a donation thru pay pal JE223. Keep up the good work.
 
Step 1: Whip up a batch large enough to make a mattress-sized slab.
Step 2: After its done setting, cover it with frilly cloth.
Step 3: Call it an new-age, all-natural, back-aligning health-mattress.
Step 4: Write up a page of nonsense about how it opens up channels in your body so your inner energy can flow more freely or something.
Step 5: Sell it for ten times what the gel is worth.
 
Often the ballistics of an automobile has been touted as far exceeding that of a bullet.

Now we can find out for sure!
 
I'll chipp in.

JE223 can you try to tell if the 22 magnum bullet did and squigling in the gel.

Thank you!

PS - I have posted a .357 Magnum test that I did today, and will have 9x19mm 147gr Golden Saber and various .38 Special (out of a 4" barrel) posted by the end of the night! I will do my best to get a .22 Magnum test done this week - the original shooter has backed out. These blocks were the ones that we were going to shoot.
 
I'm glad...

...that this thread has morphed into more than just solving my little dilemma. It's good to see people helping to support JE223 in his efforts to answer questions for a lot of us.

Now, about that new-age mattress idea...:neener:

That's what I'm talking about!

If I had any extra money, I'd chip in. Alas, after my recent round of purchasing, I'm a bit overextended. :eek:
 
Donut - the .38 Special results are now up in the 'Revolvers' section

I will be posting the names (no locations) of people who contribute(d) on the main page on my website as a show of thanks! Please let me know if this is not good for you.

Thank you!

John
