    Oh... I see. Millions of dollars in research and development is all "BS" because you say so. Again, the gel is a REPEATABLE MEDIUM. If bullet A penetrates 12" and bullet B penetrates 8' then bullet A exhibits greater penetration. If the gel were twice as dense and the penetration cut in half the same holds true... It's about being able to standardize a test and therefore have comparable results.

    Oh, they're armor piercing and you're making them? Do you have a type 10 FFL too?

PLEASE "explain" to me how ANY sort of jacket makes a bullet mushroom in flesh more easily than a dead soft hp? with a SMALLER nose cavity than Elmer's .44's had? :-) Aint gonna happen, guys. The industry has sold you a bill of goods.
    Oh, you've solved it... One guy found that his results were that the round needed to be doing 1000fps. Lets go on just that...

    Can't argue with those who think they know it all.
