From all the reviews they are excellent

Have you tried some similar weighted Sierra Blitzkings or Hornady VMax on you gel for comparison?

No, just going by the ADI load chart for the nearest equivalent using 2206H
I'm not into pushing limits, it was also the most accurate in my rifle.

So far I've tested .177 air rifle, .22lr subsonic and HV, 12g OO buckshot and Brenneke slugs, Hornady 35gn Vmax, B&T Energetics 40gn frangibles, Nosler 50gn Varmint BT, Hornady 55gn RooMax, ADI SS109 62gn, Hornady 68gn BTHP and Nosler 70gn RDF match as well as the REXEM.

What is you recipe for the gel? It looks very dense?
The only value to gel is that it gives you results you can compare to other people's results, anywhere in the world. But only if you use the standard recipe's. Using your own recipe only gives you results you can compare with other bullets in the same gel.
Gel does not replicate flesh at all.

The group above is good enough for my purposes.

Cool, what did the tiny 35 grain VMax do to your gel?
