[QUOTE="Decap, post: 2451738, member: 118394"] Not trying to make it something complex. The brief history lesson was just to correct the AR article you quoted that said the FBI devised the testing protocol after the 86 Miami shootout. The protocol existed for five years before the shootout ever happened, the FBI just adopted it. Of course you are correct 10% ordnance gelatin is going to be 10% ordnance gelatin no matter who mixes it and no matter what they use it for, that wasn't my point. My point was 10% gel is designed to simulate human tissue. The tissue on game is denser, probably closer to 20% which is why I imagine badlands said most manufacturers use it (not to mention it will make the bullet expand more dramatically). Since this is a hunting forum I assume we're evaluating hunting rounds and not antipersonnel rounds, and so if we're talking about real world hunting conditions, the 20% gel would probably give you a more accurate idea of performance. That's what I meant by apples and oranges. That being said, if the Badlands bullet performs that well in 10% gel it should do even better in 20% so good for them for testing it in 10% Glad I could clear that up. I don't want to hijack the thread so I'm going to hand it back over to Idcwby. You have a great day too! [/QUOTE]
