[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2171672, member: 3230"] Whatever works for you, but hitting within 5" at 700 yards or beyond doesn't mean you can get sloppy just because the bullet has a high BC and going fast. I found that when I shoot calibers like a .308 Win at extended ranges that, yea, you have to be more careful about wind. But I also found that when I switched to a fast high BC bullet, I overcompensated for wind far more often than undercompensated. I am not sure how you learn about wind hunting unless you are shooting rockchucks with a big game rifle; I used to shoot a ton of prairie dogs with a .223 and 55 grain bullets. You have to hold in moderate winds at moderate ranges; I didn't think it was very transferrable to big game hunting. But I hear you on PRS; I think I learned more the first six weeks I could shoot from my back door in CO that three years shooting once or twice a week in AZ. [/QUOTE]
