The largest round I ever fired was a .416 Rigby. It was last fall, a couple months before I went in for back surgery to fix 2 of the 4 leaking disks I had...very, very bad idea!

.270 Caliber Bolt-Action Rifle. First time I fired such a gun, the recoil drove the scope into my nose, leaving it bloodied up a little. Just remember keep your nose away from the scope.

My great uncle had a double barrell rifle, I don't recall the make but I think the load was a .480 Nitro Express.
The most powerfull pistol round I shot is a .41 magnum out of a Ruger Blackhawk. |

416 Rigby out of a double rifle of my stepdad's. (He thought recoil pads were for the ladies.) I think it was a 500gr bullet. Hurt so bad for the first round I figured I'd held it wrong, firmed up my hold and touched off the second barrel. NEVER again. My vision tunnelled out and my shoulder felt like it was full of gravel for a week.

Quoted: Shoulder 84mm Carl G Tripod M2 .50BMG and before I transfered to the Infantry - 155 M109 and 105mm C1 and L-5 Howitzers. Largest personal 40mm M203 I couldn't believe the accuracy of the Carl G with iron sites. Last time I fired one we were firing the M72 at the same shoot. We were using the sub-calibre kit in them. That just plain sucked. |

458 Magnum in a Ruger single shot rifle. Man that thing was awesome. It did hurt a little though...after four or five shots I'd had enough.

My favorite power round was from the .50 cal-M2 on a 5-ton truck mount, very cool, raw power. My Company had to use up a sh*tload of expendable small arms ammo. For some reason they had one .50 cal mounted on top of a 5-ton truck as well as several on the tripods. The 5-ton truck was shaking like crazy from the recoil of each full auto burst! I once fired a 155mm howitzer, it was sick. I fired a bunch of LAW's, and most military small arms. Pistol: My Colt Trooper .357 magnum had a nice kick, the steel frame hurt your hand after a box of ammo, I should have replaced the wooden grips to prevent pain, but I love the feel of raw power.

How about a bazooka. Three rounds at Camp Red Devil, the artillery ranges of Fort Carson Colorado. It was sort of an "Air Force guys play with the Army's toys" week.

Nothing impressive for rifles, but 2 weeks ago I had the opporturnity to shoot a 45-70 Thompson Center Contender (no compensator). Hanging on for dear life, and I still almost took it in the chin. I'd do it again, but it's not going on my "want" list.
