Trying to Make to Predict Performance Against a Skull
I wasn't sure where to ask this, hopefully this is the right place.
I'm interested in testing the performance of several "weak" rounds, such as 32 S&W and 25 ACP from diminutive pocket-guns, against a human skull. There are some very nice dummy heads and bodies available for ballistic testing, but they are expensive. Given the breadth of knowledge present on this forum, I was wondering if anybody knew what would be required to make an accurate analogue. Can I get useful information from the bones at my local butcher shop, or is there some other material that would work better?
