Personally I don't put a lot of stock in tests into static media (not live critters) because I've been mislead by the results too many times. There is just too much inconsistency in the media to be worthwhile and since ballistic gelatin so expensive most of us won't ever use that stuff and it too is very temperamental depending on temperature and probably some other factors. I doubt anyone has a tool that measures the water content in the newspaper either. I've seen some guys videos that are shooting media and shoot it multiple times with different guns and then make some claim... doesn't shooting it once change the dynamic? With that said, we have some great bullets these days in both rifles and pistols.
