Is the .308 Win 7.62 X 51 still a Long Range Hunting Cartridge?

How we went from .308 Win being the Sniper Round at 1000 yards to bows and arrows at 80 yards astounds me?

I thought we're shooting hot dogs?

I think how it happened was 308 for deer, to 30-30 lobbing at deer, to me saying how lobbing arrows kinda shun'd me away...

Carry on.

The problem the 30 cal has is the high bc bullets needed for long range are heavy for caliber and the 308 case doesn't hold enough powder to push them fast enough.

Rocks at 10 yards are next.
