I can't speak for the Maxim, but I have shot an Accuracy Inernational in 338 Lapua that is a clone of the Canadian sniper rifle that made the incredibly long shot in the sandbox a few years ago.
I shot a gong at 300. The crosshairs shook a little and I saw the impact. The supressor really made it a pussycat. I suspect the Maxim did similar.
