I have one something like that, also in .45. I used about the same load as well. With it, I shot a 2"x4" pine board at about 10 feet. The ball bounced back and hit me in the chest. It did make a dent almost 1/2" deep, though.
It appears your Derringer's barrel is about 1/2" or more, longer than mine.

A 1/2 dent in Daryl! I am surprised, Daryl is a man of steel and bullets normally bounce off him!

BTW Ouch.

I once shot myself in the eye with a ricochet. It turned out not to be a pellet but a seed from the paddy mellon I had shot with sparrow shot.
