We shot the Thunder Mug last night. Loaded with a mixture of FFFg and Pyrodex R ... maybe a 600 grain charge. I wadded it tight with coarse steel wool, hammered in place. Shook the ground nicely when it went off. The steel wool ignited and lit up the yard!

Video Captures of the shot.

Ignition

The Thunder Mug, made from a hyraulic cylinder.
