The cartridge makes the 50 look like a Chapstick dispenser.
Like going back to the old 20mm anti-tank rifles. The .408 uses monolithic, CNC-turned bullets that are very high BC and they are coupled to ballistics calculators that feed in local atmospheric data to come up with first-round dopes, usually with pretty good results in the hands of a professional. I think there's a limit to what a human can do though, at a certain range it's up to electro-mechanical assistance. I've gone down the YouTube rabbit hole on guys shooting at 1-mile targets with various setups and it's obvious it takes a ton of skill and some luck to ring a piece of steel plate that far away.
