As a hunter, I consider any thing over 300 long distance.
Never mind that no hunting bullet has sufficient energy for a clean kill past 300.

600 is the start of long range for target shooting.
There is a BIG difference between hunting and target shooting. I'll throw bullets at a target much farther than I would at a game animal. Just last week on an elk hunt, I heard some guys talking about "ringing steel" up to 900 yards. OK, they must be good shots(?). Unfortunately, when it came time to shoot an elk, 350 yards was "beyond the capability" and a miss occurred.
What is the difference between shooting 400yds and 600yds? Both should require the same skill's
