The ".338 Lapua Magnum" is a rimless bottleneck shaped cartridge that is designed for use in long range sniper rifles. It was released in 1989 and is still in use today.
There is no .338 Lapua Super Magnum. There is a .338 Lapua Magnum which is considered a member of "Super Magnum family". .338 LM uses several different bullet types and drop will depend on bullet type and weight.
No.The action length of the bar is to short to except the 338 lapua magnum round.
No such caliber. Sorry. If you man the Lapua .338 Magnum, drop will depend on the ballistic coefficient of the bullet being used, it speed, etc.
Depends on muzzle velocity, projectile weight and distance.
A .325 WSM should be your smallest, or .308 with AP tip. The Ideal bullet would be a .220 grain ACT Winchester .338. Or a .338 Lapua Magnum

Most of your normal medium/big game calibres can do it, but, realistically, to be able to shoot at that range with a feasible degree of accuracy and hit probability, you'd be better off getting into cartridges such as the .300 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua Magnum, etc.
Your question is a bit ambiguous, so I'll go with the notion you're referring to the longest confirmed kill by a sniper. That was achieved with a rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum.
Also known as the Arctic Warfare Magnum, and made by Accuracy International. The AWM is available chambered in 7.62x67 (.300 Winchester Magnum) and 8.58x70 (.338 Lapua Magnum). The L115 is chambered in 8.58/.338. The A3 model features improvements such as the ability to attach a sound suppressor, a monopod on the buttstock to improve firing stability, adjustable front bipod (vs. the original fixed model), a folding buttstock, and adjustable cheek rests.
