Your question is kind of vague. In terms of power, I'm inclined to say the .50 BMG. If you are referring to a specific round for a more generalized long range application, I would say the M118LR 7.62mm round is the standard, though many variants by other manufacturers exist. Lately there have also been newer rounds that have come out that are supposed to have inherited better ballistics than your 'typical' cartridges as well.
