I have fought the wind with the 308 and the 30-06 shooting 700 yards with bullets as large as the 178gr
It made me hold off any shots farther than 400 yards on game.
400 was a walk in the park.
This was pipeline shooting no grass just rocks with a large dip between me and the target.. swirling winds from every direction No hits from me or another shooter that day at 700.
One thing I do not know is will the OP be only shooting paper or will he be shooting at deer.
I just suggested the 300 WM for the reason of Hunting It retains more energy can be pushing heavies with High BC numbers.
Can't read the wind if you can't see the wind ,, We had wind from the left and right and in our faces and at out back as we walked the pipe line to the 700 yard target. and you could not see any of it.
700 yards pushed the limit of both of those guns in a situation like that .
OP said 750+ with the Plus at the end.. so maybe thinking farther..
No Idea if just paper or game also.
Only game I attempt to shoot at that far with Oklahoma winds would be hog or coyote as a miss or bad placed shot will not make me feel too bad like a bad placed shot on a deer. My 308 and 30-06 are not up to it.. Just need to Hunt instead of snipe.
If just paper punching you will have flags or possibly grasses you can read and many calibers will work.
I agree the 6.5's will be king at distance on paper and the match ammo they sell for it seem to be really well made.
