Seems to me dialing an elevation turret so the reticle can be solidly on target is more precise than holding over. The more hold over, the harder it is to be precise. And, as the range increases, the holdover increases, the target gets smaller, necessitating even more precise aiming...

Windage is another matter. Scopes with windage reticles and elevation turrets make sense to me.

But, I'm a Southern hunter, not a LR target shooter and I don't take ultra long range shots at game animals. And, I don't do that much hunting in windy country. Therefore, I don't get a lot of practice reading the wind. I do respect those who can.
