RE: Test Mediums for Bullets
bout the only thing ill test other then velocity with a chrony is penetration. I test penetration by using a long shaped box atleast a foot in length and fill it with wet sand and pack it in tightly then shoot with which ever caliber. when the wet sand is shot you can see roughly how far the bullet penetrated by looking at the surface of the sand and seeing how it is disrupted by the bullet passing beneath the surface showing you roughly how far the bullet penetrated. Its not a real accurate way of measuring penetration compared to practical terms of comparing it to penetration on a deer or other animal, but you can compare with other calibers just to see how much better it penetrates then the next caliber.
