I'm having trouble finding reliable numbers on WWII-era destroyer magazine capacities. It looks like modern destroyers carry more like 500 rounds per mount, so perhaps the numbers I quoted may be on the low side. But it's in that order of magnitude.

It's a mundane ability, just like human "photographic" memory.

The trials are a form of extended basic training, and are uniformly tough, so a warrior candidate who can't handle Teidar trials won't find the Soroin version any easier (and the Soroin would chafe at being referred to as a "lower" caste). However, if a candidate in a specialty caste is having troubles with skills or abilities that are specific to the specialty, then she may be passed through the trials and subsequently transferred to a more appropriate specialty.
The warrior trials are as much of a rite of passage as they are a test. Being born the daughter of a warrior in some ways is considered as having the "right" to become a warrior, and so unless she is unfit, outright incompetent or quits/refuses, it is uncommon for a candidate to fail the trials. They are as much of a group trial as they are an individual trial; failures of individuals are stikes against the whole band, so the rest of the band will usually try to "carry" the weaker members through to initiation. However, everyone in the band knows who the weak links are, and in subsequent training these individuals will be steered toward desk jobs (the warrior classes having no shortage of bureaucratic positions that need filling).
