Interpreting FBI testing standards and meaning

one of the very important things that the gel standard has done for manufacturers is to give them repeatability. previously you could test alloys and dimensions and weights but that wasn't good enough. You couldn't test the actual bullets for performance over and over, now you can fire any number of bullets into identical jel blocks and compare. Every tylenol tablet is the same weight and shape, that's really pretty simple, and it will always do exactly the same thing. Now, we can check to see if every lot of bullets functions properly. Design was made possible with gel, consistency was made possible.
 
I look for dependable feeding, reliable accuracy, being able to produce a good size wound channel, around 18" of penetration or a little more and barrier blind.
