I have been playing around with trying to develop a cheap way to see maximal bullet expansion and be able to recover the bullet - I have tried shooting at milk jugs filled with water and wet newspaper so far. What do you guys use that works and is cheap. Did I mention that I dont want to spend a lot of money to buy a chunk of Ballistic Gel? I want something that is readily available and non toxic that I can use to play with my carry loads to see how expansion varies.
When I tried my Hornady 230 grain +p TAP, the bullet expnded into a good mushroom shape, but the diameter was not much more than the base of the bullet - I want more. I have some HST's that will arrive tomorrow and will also try those to see what they do. So, if anyone has a great. cheap formula to make something that mimicks gel, please post here.
