Written By Ethan Yazel

Today we're testing some .490 roundballs in Ballistic gel at 25 yards.

Before we get into the test, I want to mention that you shouldn’t use my tests as a substitute for your own testing and practice. Just because something works for me doesn’t mean it will for you. It’s our responsibility as hunters and outdoorsmen to be proficient with our equipment and take ethical shots.

My test showed no loss in mass after shooting and recovery.
