Blasting a f-ing big magnum at 400yds when you have to pay for it, ammo and carry the damn thing as a cure for your poor wind reading ability is plain silly IMHO.

If you are shooting a 308 across a gully or up a hill at 500 yards with little/no wind indicators at an animal, you are going to need a huge amount of luck if you think you are going to kill it even if you are shooting 208s.....
