You need to look at the calibration BB on those tests. It should penetrate 3.34 inches. You'll see the BB in these blocks is anywhere from 4.5 to 6 inches. This is a sign they used the blocks at too warm a temperature or they are not a 10 percent mix. You can easily deduct 20% at minimum from these penetration numbers. Some cases it's much more.
