    Anything inside of 200m probably doesn't need any wind holds unless shooting 223, but you should always be considering it.
    The wind above the gully will always be faster than what it feels/looks, wind also does funny things as it moves around terrain. It'll often be a different direction than what you think and/or contain some elevation elements.

    Most people underestimate the wind, even people at shooting matches where you think they would know tend to greatly underestimate wind. Even having watched multiple shooters previously get mucked around by the same wind...
