Top 10 sniper rifles on history channel question

They say the M40 went to a 6.5 x 47mm - ??

Did Lapua develop that round? Sounds like the same round all of the highpower shooters went to.

Could be the demise of the 308 eventually if other countries in NATO go with it...

No, That wasn't a M40; just a version that the manufacturer claims to be a M40. I believe Lapua did develop it.

Had absolutely positively nothing at all to do with an actual military M40... not even on the same planet.

I thought so, half of those rifles were expiremental and one persons' opinion differs from another.

Was that the same show that kept showing a graphic of a 7.62X39 everytime they were talking about 7.62X51?
