    . . . I was just kidding. :-[




    I knew it would be prohibitively expensive. And a huge pain in the butt to transport and keep cool until use, too. Well, you know; unless someone has a spare refrigerated truck sitting around.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    I hear ya.

    In the past, I've lost most of my gel to bacterial and fungal contamination probably secondary to improper refrigeration. Lately I have been experimenting with using ketoconazole and penicillin in the mix, but I think that the reheating process destroys the protective properties.

    If you get the 1lb cans instead of the individual packets, you still run around the same as the reusable stuff.

    And that's food-grade gelatin. There's probably cheaper sources out there.

    I'd like to see Winchester PDX1 in 12ga tested if possible.

    I sold the shotgun and the ammo went with it, so regretfully I can no longer supply any PDX1 for testing.

    Having shot a bunch of ballistic gel in the past I can say with a good amount of confidence that shooting ball ammo is a waist of time. It will punch a hole all the way through and keep going. So that eliminates ball. Gold Dot, Ranger Talon, Bonded hydro shock, & Golden Saber all perform about the same. So with that in mind I would suggest we shooting a little of that stuff and maybe some unknowns and hand loads. I have some extreme shocks that were donated by The Gun Vault to test and can bring Gold Dots and Rangers in various calibers. We will need a small table or some plywood and saw horses (maybe better), and a measuring tape and some old denim fabric or mattress ticking. I have the HD video camera.

    I know this is an old post, but what about some of the Buffalo Bore .380?

    Yeah. Whatever happened to this? I thought you guys wanted to get together and do some 'chootin.
