well, I have a .17 HMR that I bought to practice with. It drops a lot and the wind loves to push it. I shoot the .17 at 300 yards and it is a 3 mil holdover with it zeroed at 100yards. In a gusty wind I have held it as much as 3 mils. The last time I shot the .17 it was not windy and I was able to get 4 out of 5 rounds on steel 12"x6". I know that the .308 is a different animal but I feel I can tackle a 500yd shot with it in any wind.
