I hunt exclusively with a 375 Ruger nowadays.
The most powerful I’ve touched off, a 458 WM.

.338 Terminator isn't the biggest but it lays a good smackdown on both ends. ~100 grains of H1000 makes a good hole in the atmosphere 🤣
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

OMIGOD, forgot about the 10ga I own. Bought a single shot from my dad for 50 bucks about 30 years ago.  First time I shot it up against the front of a wooden shot bench nearly cracked my brain case.

This makes me laugh.....

Biggest fired is probably my 7mm Rem Mag.    I have also shot a 10 gauge.

Biggest woned:    I owned a 375 H&H AI for a dozen years.   Saw the neighbor walking out the door with it and when I commented he said he was headed to the pawn shop.   So, I ended up with a 375 H&H AI.

Here's the funny part:
1.   I never shot it.   It came with a bunch of ammo, but I never felt the need.
2.  When I bought it, and when I subsequently sold it, I didn't know it was an Ackley Improved.

I sold it to a member on here, and a little while later he contacted me and said it was an AI.

He noticed that some of the ammo was AI, so he checked the bore.   Sure enough... it's an AI.   The barrel was never marked AI (bad gunsmithing practice).

I offered to buy it back, but he was good with it.

I shoot a 10 gauge a lot, don’t consider it a big gun. I even reload to feed it. As for finman’s pig photo, I’ve also fired thousands with one as well as a Maw Duce. Keep adding old Army M-79 40mm Blooper, hundreds down range as well.
