Oddly enough, I found the answer to this from another source. Here is a clipping that I found on a guy's web site in TX:

The technical term is "250 Type A Ordnance Gelatin" which you can order from:

In order to remain "calibrated" it must be kept at and used at 4-degrees Celsus. (Got a frige at your range? :)

Follow the instructions that come with the gelatin carefully.

You can add propionic acid as well to keep it preserved:
