My dad has shot thousands of rounds of 20mm thru the F18 vulcan cannon, sidewinder missles, and dozens of 500-2000 lb bombs.

.375 H&H which I describe as shooting 3" 12 gauge slugs, but sharper

.45ACP or .357Mag The .357Mag was out of a 12 ounce scandium S&W. That sucked.

For overall brutality in a gun that I own, the prize goes to the 12 gauge shooting slugs. I shot it a bunch last summer getting it ready for deer and now I shoot .270, 7.62x54r, 7.5x55 and barely notice.
