Humm.
It drops 75 inches from a 100 yard zero. How about if I put and eight foot pole out there at 300 yards, tack the target to the pole with the bull 75 inches from the top, and aim at the top of the pole? 
Yeah, that sucker is a flying freight train.

Wow, there is still 983 ft lb of energy left, out there.

No thank you Addict. I hate anything more than a gentle breeze - shooting, hunting, or fishing.
I don't know how you guys on the high plains live with it.

The wind; one never gets 'used' to it, but one does have to learn to live with it. Kind of ironic it is, because of the openness, one kinda needs to shoot long range, but because of the wind, one cannot.

Just aim at the clouds.
The simplest approach to success, would be to twist the elevation turret up 24 moa, after ensuring the rifle is sighted in at 100 yard..
