We have developed 52 caliber gun tubes for the M777 and the M109A7 but again greater range absolutely requires guided munitions and Quarter-Million Dollars a Pop rounds.
When I was doing this stuff, we designed our own system in-house at Picatinny Arsenal, built it a Rock Island, and tested it at Yuma - and our direction was greater automation, faster rates of fire, high ballistic precision, and fire on the move. I guess we'll see where the technology takes us.
Unfortunately, for obvious reasons - especially with the Chinese and Turks evident progress with railguns - you’re not likely to see anything more detailed on an officially condoned article. However, you have but to look at the private citizens’ railgun development (and there’s a LOT of them) to see that they’ve encountered the same problems on a smaller scale and worked around them, all using unclassified publicly available gear.
