[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 2003059, member: 93895"] 1894c summed it up nicely. I hunt with standard duplex reticles on some of my scopes. Like stated, with winds that are steady sustainedd push of say 8 mph you can dial windage. If you have gusts up to say 12 mph along with a steady push, then a moa reticle can be more helpful in a situation like that where the wind is variable. I can tell you this, with that stw, if you can push a 180gr bullet to 3050fps plus, wind won't be as much of an issue as that 308 or the 6.5 creedmoor at 600 yards. And almost as good as the 180gr scenario if you can push a 168 Berger or 162 eld to 3150 fps In that stw. I run a 180 eld to 3180, I told my son not to even hold for wind for shots under 500 yards unless there's a strong storm or front moving in. [/QUOTE]
