Yeah, once you see consistent expansion in gel, it’s pretty hard to go back to ball and just hope for the bestI also used to think that way too....I watched HST rounds go up against standard ball ammunition in ballistic gel. The way they expand and penetrate, it's not some kind of magic trick, just basic physics. And it is definitely worth the extra twenty bucks, if you ask me.
