What can a guy use to see bullet performance with out using ballistic gel.It does not need to reproduce body flesh I just want a reference or guide line to the bullet expansion.
Find someone with an in ground swimming pool 10-12 feet deep. Use a ladder and shoot straight down. Depending on the cartridge you may get wet. The recovered bullets will indicate performance at tag-your-it distances. Very hard to test the velocity at 200-300 yards unless your actually shot at that distance.
Sounds like I need to find some thick books somewhere,how thick do you think it needs to be for 243 wssm at 100yds.The two bullets I want to check are 70gr blitzking and 85 gr nozler partition.
Yes I am sure they have been tested alot and both proven to be good at their intended use.
I would like to have one of each that I have shot and be able to look at the results after I have put them in action.
I think it would just be neat to examine and fondle them after the test.
I try to save any bullet I can retrive from game that I have taken and also put that bullet on the mounts along with the spent shell,it looks neat.
I once tried .44 target load, with lead bullet through three Atlanta phone books. The books or a block and brick wall didn't stop the bullet. Don't think it made it to my neighbors house. Was scared to look for a long time. No more load development in the basement. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
