Actually, Brass Fetcher uses 20% gelatin, whereas FBI requires only 10% gelatin for penetration testing. So Brass Fetcher's youtube page is a terrific resource.

I actually started loading Remington Golden Sabers instead of Hornady Critical Max in my Glock based on the ballistics tests on Brass Fetcher's channel.
