I've been swaging .22rf cases into bullets that weigh from 50 gr to 65 gr. Just wondering if anyone has ever shot these into ballistic gel to see the wound channel or lack there of? (I already know they'll blow a PD into smithereens.)
TIA

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.
You can do your own test. Just accumulate old newspapers 12-18" thick, enough to stop most bullets. Put the stack in one or two clear trash bags and fill with enough water to totally saturate the paper. Give it an overnight soak to make sure. When you fire into the mass you will be able to see the cavity the hydraulic effect produces as well as capturing the bullets.
There are no jacketed .22lr bullets. They simply have a copper wash on them....they ARE NOT jacketed.
