Featured Replies

Not sure if I responded earlier but thanks to Bob, aka Reed338, I got to shoot a 338 Winmag IIRC, closest to that, what just about everyone on this forum owns, a Mosin 7.62X54R..

    I'll challenge anyone to beat this:  

  • Does artillery count? I've fired or helped fire a few thousand rounds from M107 guns (175mm) and M110 howitzers (203mm). Thousands of rds of 105mm howitzer plus almost a couple thousand rounds from

  • I'd like to disagree. When prone, the stock is contacting your collar bone. Standing, it's contacting the meat between your chest and shoulder.

Honestly, I'm surprised we have no former military here talking about shooting a 120mm tank gun, or a 155mm howitzer... :p

Does a 90 mm recoilless rifle count :music: ..........

 

... Or a 4.2" mortar?

 

.50 caliber Ma Deuce on full auto. Good times.

Does a 90 mm recoilless rifle count :music: ..........

 

If we're counting that, I've fired 90mm recoiless, AT-4, LAW, M203, M2 BMG. All live HE rounds.

 

Never fired any modern cannon or even a single HE mortar round.

30/06 in an 03 springfield prone when I was 12 didnt have it tight had one hell of a bruise :)

I've got a very cool one-day-a-year (July 4) part-time job as a pyro crew chief for a local fireworks company.   The mortars for the hand-fired shows top out at 6" diameter, shells lofted by black powder lift charges.

 

The finales are chain-fused together, which I guess counts as 500+ mortars firing on full-auto.   

Double barrel 12 gauge shotgun/.308 combo on top.  That woke me up that day!

Biggest handgun was A S&W 500. Center fire .45 colt. Now muzzleloader is tricky. .58 navy arms hawken but have shot a .69 cannon and in my 12 gauge muzzleloader I shoot a .714 round ball out of it.

I got to shoot a .50 Beowulf this weekend... I must say, I've been pricing out the costs to build one most of the morning.... :)

I got to shoot a replica Sharps 45-70 and on my 4th shot hit a 18"x18" steel plate at 500 yards with the iron peep sights

Either a .338 lapua or a .50 Beowulf. Depends what you consider bigger

My dad was a DI at Dix and I was able to shoot m60s as a kid.  I've never shot anything more powerful than 30-06/.308 but did get to throw a grenade one time!
