[QUOTE="Moparman485, post: 3776097, member: 38840"] Oh I planned to post explainers on each post/string if I went that route. the gel I used was 20% made by mixing unflavored Knox gelatin and water (and added a few drops of cinnamon oil to prolong its useful life and help make it smell less like a rotting wet dog). I calibrated the first few blocks, but after it consistently was performing the same after each remelt, I stopped calibrating each trip since it was identical mix and identical sizes. Most pistols were tested at 5 feet, rimfire rifles at 10 feet, pistol cal carbines at 25 yards, and all other rifles at 25 yards. Velocities obtained were all taken at the same time using my shooting chrony beta at 10ft distance I also plan to test mini shell bird shot, buckshot, and slugs, against regular size bird shot, buckshot, and slugs as well at 10yds to get a good idea of what is best for home defense and what damage they actually confer upon the gel/attacker. it’s not the most scientific or beyond reproach method, but I’ve found it super helpful to myself and friends when wondering about expected bullet performance on game.
