(rather than the oft-quoted, but little used, "anti-material" use of the .50 caliber sniper rifles.)I had an acquaintance who said that they were taught not to shoot at personnel with the fifties. They were supposed to shoot at their canteens or other hardware on their belts.

I watched Mack on “Weaponology” test this rifle and it was amazingly accurate and long ranges. I think the power of these sniper brutes really enlarges the kill zone.
I’ll have to stick with my old and common .300 Win mag.

The only current use I’d have for it would be to replace my long range varmint gun. I could find a hill and extend my range considerably, even though it might be a little overkill.

(rather than the oft-quoted, but little used, "anti-material" use of the .50 caliber sniper rifles.) Indeed. Heavy machine guns are not humane against personnel. They are only intended to be used against material.
So always aim at the belt buckle, buttons, helmet, etc.

Weaponology on the Military Channel has a good show on this, showed hits at over a mile. Used a PDA and windmeter to dope the thing for a first shot hit. Impressive.

I always believed the .300 Winchester Magnum to be an outstanding long-range (over 1000 meters) anti-personnel round.
I don’t know much about .338 Lapua but it seems to have really caught on.
I frankly see no point in the .408 round.
I do think that US snipers need an anti-personnel round more powerful than the 7.62 X 51 round.

And when the integrate the computer, environment measurement devices and range finder into the scope, they will have invented my idea.
Point, click.
I’ve been wondering when they would start bringing out the .40 caliber rifles.
