The density is much higher than either ballistic gelatin or flesh, which means the pressure at the front of the bullet is higher when it hits – that makes bullets expand MUCH more than they should. It makes some nice pictures, but for actually evaluating the performance of any bullet, this is worthless. A bullet which would expand nicely in ballistic gelatin will be destroyed when fired into this wax, and a bullet which doesn’t expand at all in gelatin (because it’s too tough or too slow) will expand in this wax.
