I have been testing my own defesive/hunting ammo for peace of mind for as long as I have been shooting. Over the years my methods have gotten more refinced and I have noticed more and more friends asking me to test their 'working' ammo for terminal ballistics. I have also noticed quite a bit of interest on TFL when I post the latest results of my own personal testing. I have been working hard the last few weeks makeing and calibrating ordinance gel in the anticipation of starting a terminal ballistics testing lab. Setting up a properly calibrated block of geletin is a long and involving process and most gun enthusiests dont have access to the facilites or the time to do their own testing. It seems the only place to turn for scientific ballistic geletin testing is the gun magazines, and you just have to hope they test your load and caliber. I use the term scientific loosly as they have ammunition manufactures as paying advertisers. After looking around on the net, I found one independent testing facility for terminal ballistics, but they charged $600 for a 6 round evaluation. $600 is a new pistol to me, and I understand most wouldnt be willing to pay such an inflated price.
If I opened my service to TFL memebers at cost, how much interest would there be.
