Well sort of. Before gel, bullet manuf used wetpack to test bullets. Why, because it does give good results, sim to what happens in flesh. Penetration is slightly less, but actual expansion, pretty damn close. The bullets below are 210gr NP driven 2800fps. One pulled from wetpack, one from a 600# bull Kudu. Tell me which is which?
