The "Paris Gun" in WWI used such a corrosive charge, that each shell was progressively larger to make up for the loss of bore material. Each shell was numbered as such.

That kept them busy doing the calculations to fire each round because of all the variables, mass, shape, charge, even though the aiming point was basically the City of Paris.
