The Canadian Forces consider the .338 Lapua to be a Medium-Range Snipers Weapon System (MRSWS) and the .50 BMG to be a Long Range Sniper Weapon (LRSW).
Unfortunately, not many military's use the .408. The Timberwolf is no longer available in .408 due to a lack of military demand. It will be interesting to see how many military's decide to go with .408 now that some weapon experts consider the .408 the next generation long range cartridge beyond the .50 calibre.
S.I.B. what is life like on planet Oblivious? Do others there engage in conversations they know nothing about? Do they continually not heed advice from more intelligent lifeforms? Do they perpetuate painful internet forum posts with questions and responses that have no real world merit? No? oh, so it must just be you then.
SIB, I find you to be very strange with seemingly misplaced intentions. You scare me. People that ask questions like this make me glad I own guns. I wish the world didn't have problems that I felt better by having firearms.
Here are some comparisons:

#1 thing needed to make a shot like that in a military situation is NOT a computer,a fancy rifle or fancy round.
Its a good spotter.
Anyone can make a shot at those distances...if you shoot enough rounds at the target.
I hate to tell you this but generally when the military chooses a new SW system to deploy its seldom is the best one for the job.Its a combination of deployability and cost effectiveness that wins the day.The C14 is as close as we've ever come to getting it right in my humble opinion.It's a great piece of kit.
