The Search for the Perfect Bullet, could make a good short non-fiction book, along the lines of "Cod" and "Salt".

Anyways, if we ever get attacked by something goopy/jelly like "Thing" from a old sci fi movie with a young Steve McQueen, well, we will be all set.

Some people sit around and brag on their guns, and discuss various ammo loads. But there are others who are just as happy with their Ohaus scales, AA machines and comparison mikes. They'd no more be caught with their Mityuoto digital calipers than I would without two spare mags for my M1911 or a single one for my Browning GP. I knew one of those who was SO happy when he finally got a freezer big enough to chill his gelatin molds just right, and even bought himself the right model of BB gun so he could *calibrate* his Jell-o [Yeah, I've cast and shot my own gelatin too, though I don't have a freezer. I used one of the file cabinets at the morgue.] He made the mistake of inviting me over to shoot some of his jello blocks, so I took a couple of goodies: A Remington XP-100 in .221 Fireball, my Mauser broomhandle, and a muzzleloading revolver...in this case, a LeMat Navy.

I made an awful mess of his range. But he was as happy as a pig in politics.
