    Has anyone ever tried making their own gel? Has it been successful?

    A lad I work with uses cuts of pork or bacon to test ammo. Seemingly it has similar properties to ballistic gel

    Ye can buy the clear gel from states and reuse it a few dozen times.
    Anything else is just messing

    Tiranti Terracotta Wax 500g bought on Amazon is meant to be very good also.

    No it's the other way around. Ballistic gel has similar properties to pork or bacon.
