The 300 WIN MAG load I used as an example with a full value 10 mph wind at 90 degrees drifts 3.6 MOA or 33.9". So you were only off by 62.1". Long range shots are never a guess. I am not saying I am the best shot because I am not. But under the right conditions I wouldn't want to be a deer or elk standing out there. Sorry to the OP for the Hyjack.
8 feet for 308 win. As long as you know your numbers for your setup thats what counts.
