As a veteran operator of an M728 CEV, I am a fan of BIG booms. 165mm HESH was a heavy, awkward round to load. It was used to take out concrete structures. In this role the HESH was especially effective as the physics of HESH v. concrete creates an affect called "spalling", where the cement bonds are shattered and every little bit of concrete becomes shrapnel vectored away from the point of detonation.
The round had much more mass in the warhead/projectile than it had propellant pushing it out the barrel. The propellant charge was just the last few inches of a monster round. At the training ranges, you could watch the blob head down range. It was so slow that you could imagine that you saw the thing spiral as it went. Or maybe I did. That was 30 years ago.
Sorry for rambling. I hope to see this nice and stable so I can play with it and giggle.
