The heavier projectile has stopped shorter than the lighter one was what I was talking about. as too the "wound cavity" in ballistics gel. Its a sign the projectile is working, but it may not accurately show imparted energy. Thats a dubious claim.

Maybe we should go back to using pig carcasses for comparative analysis like various military forces worldwide used to do before they moved to ballistic gel which is cheaper and easier to source. Pigs were thought to be closest to human body structure for wound analysis, bullet performance.
