That is my stance on it and why I'm likely avoiding the heavier "wind bucker" bullets/cartridges. I always check the weather before going out and if I see stuff like 25mph with gusts to 30...yea, I'm just not hunting. Its not even taking the risky shot (IMO) I hate the wind, and I am miserable when I have to be outside in it.
This makes sense and I agree.It'll work well for those who live in speed goat country.But for those who like me must drive 1500-1800 miles to hunt and have to deal with whatever weather is there when we get there, a 2nd rifle in a wind bucking chambering also makes sense.I'll continue to bring along a .280AI or some such calibre even though I'd much prefer to hunt with my .25-06AI.

Instead of not shooting 453 yards in a 20-30 mph breeze one could always try and get closer.

I live nearby pronghorn country and if I get a day off to go hunting I sure as hell ain't sitting home if it's windy outside.

Some of the best open country hunting can be had on a windy day. Might not be the most fun but the wind can really aid in a stalk.
