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 338 Lapua Magnum bullet typically flies at speeds between 2,800 to 3,000 feet per second (fps) depending on factors such as bullet weight and powder charge.
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

Oh, dude, like, totally! Browning does make a safari bar that can handle the 338 Lapua round. It's like the perfect match for those big game hunting adventures. So, yeah, if you're into that caliber, Browning's got you covered.
The .338 rifles are primarily used for long-range shooting and big game hunting. They are chambered for the .338 Lapua Magnum or .338 Winchester Magnum cartridges, which provide high ballistic performance and significant stopping power. These rifles are favored by military snipers, law enforcement marksmen, and sports hunters due to their accuracy and effectiveness at extended ranges. Additionally, they are sometimes used in competitive shooting events.
It's a good caliber, yes.

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.
