Buffalo Bore loads Dangerous Game Loads with a mono-metal 460 S&W loading of 300 grains I believe. That would be a good test for ballistic gel and additional material to replicate bone. Use of a cow thigh-bone in front of, or between ballistic-gel, would be useful for a test.
Better to test it on bovine flesh...
I've tested in numerous media types and while they are interesting (somewhat), bone and blood change everything. We tested the prototype .480 Ruger loads on a couple of bovine last year and they worked great. Can't wait to put the .460 version to work as that thing is scorching!
