The most kickarse cartrige

ok, as some of you may know, The WWII german tank the King Tiger had an 88mm main gun that was diff from the orginal tiger.(diff b/c it had a larger shell case, more gun powder) It shot a 22 pound projectile with a muzzle velocity of 3300 feet per second. Now it seems that all the high velocity ammo these days for small arms have very small bullets. what cartrige would be analoges to the King tiger 88? (extream velocity, huge bullet) the 5.56 NATO round has the high velocity, but its bullet weight is very small and consequently its muzzle engery is very low. i would guess it would be a 150 grain bullet with a long barrel and a muzzle velocity of 4000 feet/second, is that possible?
