Default Is the .308 really that good?

Accuracy wise I mean? Seems like all you hear about is how accurate the .308 is. I mean, would military and police sharpshooters use an inaccurate round? Would long range (1000 yard) competitors use an inaccurate round?

But what about for hunting. Realize that in examples listed above, sharpshooters and competitors use match grade ammo. So, is the .308 still the ultimate in accuracy with hunting loads? Has anybody done any real world tests or comparisons on this? Is the .308 more accurate than other hunting calibers?

Just thought I'd stir up the thought process a little.
