When I was a lot younger I used to use Plasticine as a cheap poor man's substitute for Ballistic Putty.Granted it's not perfect and the penetration varies greatly depending on the temperature of the Plasticine.
I used to make a square block of it and put it in the fridge when I wanted to test my latest tuning attempt on one of my Air Rifles,(the same thickness every time and i used to chill it for a set time to try and gain consistent results)
Not exactly scientific,but it did give me a pretty good estimation of the penetrating power of various pellets and any tuning mods i did to my Rifle
