[QUOTE="Moparman485, post: 3816020, member: 38840"] I thought I had included it, but I see I was mistaken. The distance from muzzle to gel was 10yds. I also calibrated the gel using the same method as they calibrate the commercial stuff. However, if someone wants to spend the comically high price of commercial stuff, then I will happily do testing with it. But at $40 a block for home made, and well in excess of $100 for commercial, I was happy to keep it in double digit costs. Particularly considering how much of the gel was vaporized with single projectile testing (especially with the magnum rifle rounds haha). I have chosen the #4, as there likely is no situation within my home we’re I will have a single shot distance of greater than 10yds, due to hallways/etc, and 100% of the #4 pellets struck a target with a width of about 14 inches (much smaller than your average torso). Plus, If I am going to be engaging threats in the open or at greater distances, the 12ga is not the tool I would grab. Of course every bit of data can be interpreted differently by differing learned minds :). And any load is always going to be better than a pointy stick! Haha [/QUOTE]
