Mixing your own ballistics jell

[j1133s]

I'd like to get some ballistics jell and noticed that they have gone up in price a lot. So, I'm now thinking about following this instruction:

What do you think?
If I follow the instructions, it'll only cost $15/gal. I'm wondering if anybody has tried and compared the results with commercial jell (e.g. density, shooting result, etc.).

I would much rather make the "Meat Target".

Although not as scientific, albeit more realistic to me, I find it more interesting.

Why? Everyone else has youtube videos of them shooting every single type of bullet from every caliber and recording them for posterity. It's why I don't need to shoot junk, appliances, fruit...

I use pig meat/bones/old clothes in my testing when I look for new SD ammo.

Gramma's jello mold works for the FiB'rs, but then again my work doesn't involve felony arrests. My standards are my own and I get to bbq any viable left overs.
