Was this with bare gelatin, or with a clothing simulant?  Was this gelatin calibrated?

Thanks,

I wasn't there, but in past tests he used "10% ballistic gelatin provided by Vyse gelatin using all FBI protocols and 4 layers of denim and two layers of light cotton T-shirt in front of the gelatin".  He's a careful, thorough guy, as his superb ammunition illustrates.

Yes, it is. Whenever someone does an individual chrono of his ammo, his figures are shown to be correct.
