Animals don't have pre drilled holes in them and they are not made of 1/2 inch steel plate.

Besides I will be trying to simulate real animals the best I can. IE... hair, hide, muscle, bone, and finally lungs. I don't think 1/2 inch thick steelis realeventhere.

Of course if you want to test out how tough that anondizing process on a longaluminum furrel compared to a short steel furrel feel free to shoot all the steel you want.

Ballistics gel is way too expensive and it must be refrigerated up until the actual time you are going to use it. It can not be left outside in the Southern heat for any length of time before it starts to break down and melt.

You are more than welcome to bring down the shooting machine to my house and we can shoot for accuracy any time.

And yes I will measure the total cut for each head.
