Long story short, my (12 y.o.) son wanted to compare 223 bullet types and I suggested that he compare 9/40/45 or a mixture of 2/3. My thought was the 223 would be tough to recover and/or measure.
We haven't gotten into the details, just some brainstorming. I think he wants to focus on penetration depth. Although I know there have been numerous studies on this, he seems very interested in it so I'm going to let him have a go.
We've thought about homemade ballistic gel in a wooden "pan" for lack of a better word. We would shoot from the side so that it would be visible, measurable and able to be displayed.
The other test may be the gallons of water in a row test. Is there anything else we should consider? Any pointers or tips?
