This LM-105 bullet for in .338 claims to have a BC of 1.113:

Seems like the .338 Lapua Mag may become the new king of long range for anti-personnel. .50 BMG would still be useful for anti-materiel, but overkill in weight, etc. for sniping use. May render .408 cheytac superfluous too.
The bullet is about 293 grains, and can get an MV up to 3,005 fps from .338 Lapua Mag, quite a bit more than the .50 BMG.
Thoughts?
