5” 50 on the USS Forrest Sherman (DD 931).
Do you mean 3" 50 or 5" 54?
My biggest was 18rds from a 5" 54 from OMC(one man control). USS Semmes DDG 18. Great fun.
Biggest shoulder fired, 460 Weatherby, 3 rds. It wasn't terrible but you definitely knew you shot something big.
The Ruger 77 in 458 Win Mag was way more obnoxious.
I made the mistake of sighting in my Remington 700 in 375 H&H and my Ruger #1 45-70(warm+ loads)
in one day. I didn't start crying til about the 20th round.
navlav8r, I was a Gunner's Mate on the Forrest Sherman 77-78.
