Ballistic gel.........

Post by fortyshooter » Fri Jan 01, 2021 11:54 am

Just placed an order for the FBI certified block. Price was good for the 6x6x16 inch block and on sale.
More bullet testing fun to come soon I hope!

Yes you can melt in down in a block mold which they sell.

Well this stuff is the new inorganic type much more stable than the older kind and is NOT temperature sensitive.
For 68 bucks not a bad deal! Clear Ballistics is the company out of South Carolina. https://www.clearballistics.com/product ... c-gelatin/

thanks for the info .... for folks who plan to use very much of it, it would make sense to me buy the equipment needed to remold it
