The average human chest is something like 8-10" thick so the "center" would be 4-5" and the neck length on a few of those gel blocks was that long. I prefer to see neck lengths of under 2" on a tactical rifle, but perhaps we're thinking of terminal effects on different types of "critters".

The gel test pretty much confirm what I have observed in the world. At the velocities of the 300 Blackout (pick your favorite wildcat name here) the 308 varmint bullets behave like their heavier "Big Game" brothers.
The Barnes TSX bullets behaved as advertised.
