Shooting into a pile of rag with the 480 Achilles

My neighbor has started learning to powder-coat bullets. He asked if I had any he could practice on. I gave him a handful of bullets for the 480 Achilles and today he made some in John Deere green.

I loaded one with about 2 gr. of Bullseye... then laid a pile of rags on the desk with some boards at the end in case I missed or misjudged the powder charge.

Then I fired the 480 Achilles into the rags. The T-shirt that was first stopped the bullet.

The above images were taken from the video we took of it.

The bullet was smoked up a bit .. charge was too light to expand the base.
