    Competitive F-open guys would definitely want better than 1/2 MOA. For F-PR I would want an honest 1/2 MOA at a minimum, the smaller you can get the better obviously.

    If you are finding that wind is messing up your scores it is unlikely a 1/4 MOA load will do much to help, I certainly wouldn't be wasting reloading components in the current climate if that is the case.
    You cold try squeezing some more velocity from your loads to get a little advantage but I don't think it'll make that much difference.

    The only way to improve your performance in the wind is practise, you could look at doign some training with a 22lr to try hone your wind reading skills.
    This will help to some degree but the wind effects over a 1000yard range can be very hard to judge/anticipate, so more experience is really the only thing that could help.

    Have read of these articles if you want to know where best to spend your time and energy.
