    I don't think there's a clear point. Call the wind effects as they are for the conditions and your system, and correct for them. 540 yards is a long way and a little wind will have an effect - for example a 1ms breeze is pretty light, just a breath of wind, but you'd expect about .5mil of wind at 540 yards. 25cm or so.

    Makes sense Gimp
    Probably 1 - 2 m/s so 25- 50 cm roughly would be about right
