I want to test several loads. This will not be a scientific test. Data exactly like FBI gel test is not needed, but i want something that will give me consistant results. With consistant results i will be able to compare my results with published results. Gelatin is not cheap and i have several loads to test.
I want to compare cavity results more than bullet expansion.
I have read of some people using a corn starch/water mix, cardboard/water mix, paper/water mix and phone books soaked in water.
Any of those vialbe or are there others?
Edit: Another reason i want an alternative, i want something less sensative to temperature. Transporting gelatin to my range in the heat of summer would be problematic.
