    so i have been thinking about this.
    all the tests i have found on test media has been using the likes of wet newspaper, or balistic gel, the water making the media unable to compress and of course getting the infamous hydrostatic shock.
    but lungs are full of air!
    getting all myth busters, i thaught if i get some deer skin, then a layer of mussle. i was thinking of using the stomach wall as this is a similar thickness to the mussle inbetween the ribs.
    if i then get a sheeps lungs and heart, inflate the lungs, then i wrap the lungs and heart in the stomach wall mussle, then around the outside i have a layer of the deer skin.
    that would be a perfect test media for the classic heart lung shot where no rib or shoulder bones were encountered. a worst case senario for bullet performance on a deer.
    i would make say 12 of these test targets, behind the targets if i put plastic buckets filled with water to capture the bullet.
    i could shoot say 6 at 2 mtrs then 6 at 250 mtrs and compare the results.
    then i realised that i couldnt be fucked proving to a retard that they are retarded. whats the point? i know full well it will blow up leaving a massive wound channel and exit into the buckets.
    best i just nod and smile and agree that they should trade their .270 in and get a .308 that will fix all therir problems.
