Look at the .338 Edge +P on "youtube." Search for, ".338 Edge 2,751-yard shot."

It uses a 300-grain Berger bullet launched over 3,300 fps at the muzzle. Here, I did the homework:

Can you imagine this rifle being fired with the "smart scope/software" technology?

And here is some good read about the development of the .338 Edge +P:

Not sure where/who is getting 3,300fps with a 300gr SMK out of a 338 Edge +P, but Shawn Carlock didn't (looks like he stopped at 3,100fps).

I think for 3,300fps using a 300gr SMK in .338 the chambering is going to have be something like a 338 Chey-Tac, Snipe-Tac or Allen Mag.
