- This Clear Ballistics Gel that I will be using for expansion tests meets the FBI ballistics testing protocol. This amazing material is completely synthetic and reusable by melting and remolding. It can be stored at room temperature and won't rot or become unstable.
Due to info requests here is the manufacturers information:
I purchased it from Clear Ballistics. Their website is www.clearballistics.com

This is the same gel we use on our channel. It's a great product and very reliable. A few tips from our experiences:
1. Cut the block up as small as you can. It really cuts down on the melting time.
2. Get an sharp knife when trying to remove the blocks after molding. The vacuum formed by the mold makes it incredibly difficult to get out.
3. DO NOT put the oven over 270. The block will begin to yellow.
I hope these help ya junker! Good luck with your testing!
Well, it's not bad once you consider the fact it is reusable. Plus, these are BIG blocks. Remember someone had to engineer this stuff, they have to have a facility to make it, buy ingredients, they are a small business and need to pay employees, marketing, etc. It's expensive to do all that, which has to be figured into the price of the product.
Yeah it is nice.. A lil softer than regular ballistic gel. U get a lil more penetration But it works
Love how you show us the new goodies and immediately provide a teaser for what you've already done with it. Great way to keep folks coming back.
Very cool. Looking forward to the tests.
Oh, HELL YEAH!
Can't wait to see some of these tests up for viewing. Will be paying a lot more attention to this channel now. Not that I wasn't before, but, there is soooo much to watch on You Tube.
Fantastic my friend - can't wait to see these.
Great news! Can't wait to see the 7.65x54R tests!
I didn't know that is synthetic and completely reusable before see this video. Thanks a lot. I'll tell this thing to my friend, he always use yellow-and-nonclear normal ballistics gelatine
I just posted links in the video description since I've had several inquiries.
I would like to see the "Sniper Pack" tested a 1000 yards with a .338 Lapua Magnum. I'd like to see the terminal ballistics of a 300 grain projectile at that range.
I purchased the gel from Clear Ballistics. I'll add a link in the video description.
Yes, most definitely. I'm working on acquiring a full size household oven for my garage. I currently use a toaster oven for bullet related things. Time to upgrade because somehow I don't think my wife would like what I'm "cooking."
Thanks for the tips!
Have the shooting test videos been posted yet?
Well, to be perfectly honest... it takes a LOT of time for me to create a video, not only finding time to shoot the footage (which is hard to find a time window + good weather, etc.) but then it takes me many hours per video to edit. So now I have the raw footage, I can edit up and publish them in my spare time.
Hi my brother, thanks for your videos,, Whuod you tell me please that how much is it in Dollars? is it expensive?(CLEAR Ballistics gelatin ).
Thanks for the tips! Hoping to get an oven for my garage this week.
Yeah I will. I started with 7.62x39 because it is lower power and I wanted to learn what to expect from the gel.
Great video. I've been using Clear Ballistics Gel for over a year, and love it. Just a couple of tips. Remelting at a lower temperature for a longer period, while less convenient, will forestal the eventual yellowing of the gel. Second. Once the gel is completely melted, turn of the heat, but leave the block in the oven. This will allow the bubbles to rise and produce a clear block. Finally, a regular hair dryer will be much more suited for block polishing then the torch.
Have Fun Be Safe :)
Not worried about the chrono, keeping the computer unit below the edge of the table and using disposable dowels for the skyscreen supports would be reasonably safe except against curveballs. I was thinking about this too.
Thanks for the expedient reply and the great videos! Keep it up ;-)
Awesome. Between you and tnoudoors there is so much useful data on the net now about ammo choices and their characteristics. Have you ever thought of contacting him and getting some pointers on ballistics gel? You should get him to partner up with you for content on your website. You both do a real professional and entertaining job. Keep up the good work.
mainejunker, Thanks soooo much for testing brown & silver bear HP and SP ammo! It's the most affordable ammo that I can find, but up till now, I don't know if anyone has ever posted a test of how they expand! Really, *really* looking forward to seeing your results!
It runs about $250 + shipping for a pair of the large FBI blocks. Good thing it is reusable. :)
I used a plastic tub to mold my gel. Drilled a small hole in the bottom and used an air compressor to release the gel when it hardened
Awesome! LOOKING 4WERD 2 T3H VIDS!!!!!!
cool!
I got a suggestion you should put the ballistic jell behind steal and we the damage the round does after penetrating steel. Keep up the great bids.
Funny - I was going to request that you do a comparison of the ak ammo. Keep up the good work.
I think it would pass right through. The Chinese API 7.62x39 detonates when it hits heavy steel but will pass through 1/4" steel and impact wood and concrete without detonation. Now maybe shove a slab of steel into the gel? Not anytime soon. :)
it's 128$. I could make bigger blocks for less than 30$. they won't be clear and won't be non sticky but they will get the job done.
true but you can reuse these blocks up to 10 times before they even become cloudy and not clear so that is about $12 a block.
I assure you it will happen in the not so distant future.
THANK YOU!!!
I expect a blown to pieces gel with the soft points lol
I will be very interested in seeing the 7.62X39 test videos, but take whatever time you need to do the editing. Thanks for doing all the great videos you do.
you know thats comin'
Have the stuff, friend agreed to lend me his rifle. Just waiting for the planets to align a weekend, free time, and good weather. :)
I'm watching this on my phone. i can't click on the links in the video
How are you going to go about remolding/recreating the blocks? (are you going to do a video on it?)
Why is it that home made Gel blocks will melt on their own if you leave them outside in 80 degree weather when at the range BUT the store bought Gel doesn't melt on its own unless you obviously remold it. Not sure what's different. Seems like the store bought Gel will last longer outside and the home made ones, you have to transport them in a cooler with ice or they'll melt. Not sure why.
So cool! 7.62x54R test please!
FMJ Silvertip and silver bear 203gr soft point
YES YES YES!
cool
So how do you re-melt it? On the stove, or inside the oven???
I recently ordered my first order of this gel, and when I got it, it was indeed very clear. However, after my first melt down, although the gel was very clear while still in the oven, once the gel completely cooled back down to room temp, the entire block turned milky white/cloudy throughout the entire block to such an extent that it would be impossible to see the bullet tracks in the gel, making it useless to me. The main reason I went with this gel was because they advertise it can be re-used several times, but in my case after the first melt down, it's useless due to being too cloudy to see through when it cools down. I melted it at about 240 degrees which is within the range they recommend. I can heat the entire block back up and it goes back to being crystal clear, but as soon as it cools all the way back to room temp, it clouds back up!
Have you experienced this with this gel?
i would contact them directly as I have never experienced this issue personally. something going on for sure.
do you think you could test your cast 7.2x39 rounds as well?
Still waiting for the 300 win mag vid's what's the eta?
How much did you pay and where did you buy it from? If you don't mind me asking.
sweet
Where did u get the the gel box
Was the gelatin really expensive?
Did you get the 10 or 20% ?
I have never acquired or used any ballistics gel.
However, various users & other channels here claim that in hot weather the organic version STINKS REALLY BAD.
Just like "a bag full of assholes ".
Does this synthetic stuff have any residual odor?
I want to eat Jello now
can you smoothen it with an iron?
Using a heat gun seems to work ok. Although I haven't tried it I would think an iron would sear it.
I see it not cheap on amazon.com
+bigjohn22 Correc! Amazon Prime charges $263.99+ $21.99 shipping for the "Sniper Pack" whereas Clear Ballistics charges $253.98 before shipping.
WOW.... that stuff ain't cheap... 2 blocks for $250.00
Then I'll pray for all 3 (LOL)
That stuff so expensive lol
Did you hear that people? He assured me that my prayers will be answered. In that case I would also like to pray for world peace, the end of corruption, and if you got time how about a winning lotto ticket or two? HAHAHA
Come on haha
