That is to say: Has the .270 Win (or WSM or WBY or whatever) never been asked to perform at long range?


Funny how it was considered a long range option for many decades. It was always considered a hunting round first, similar to the 25s I believe. Maybe it was the proliferation of range finders that drove it into less than what is considered long range these days.
