Thread: Load determination / Handloading for my AR15

Have a look at u tube for how to make the gel. I remember seeing how to make out of normal gelatine, something like, make it, then melt it, and when it sets the second time your good to go. Cant remember the mix though.
Looked pretty good.

I'd quite like to get some ballistic gel to experiment with, not seen any for sale in NZ yet.

The ADI FMJ has a forward canalure and its long so the tail of the bullet will protrude a lot further into the case than the Armscor or the Barnaul. At 23.6gr of 2208 I think I can here the powder being compressed with the ADI not so the other 2. So I am being careful starting at 22.1 and going up in 0.5gr. Waiting on the 55gr CMJs now.
