On my calculations (taking your MV number as truth), you are getting 1 inch of drift per MPH of wind at 300m. That's considerable

At 500m with a 10m/h cross wind the drift would be around 6. 3moa. On the morning I took the shot at 500m the wind was very lightly blowing directly towards me.

Here's the noise. 150 grn TTSX, 300saum, 3150 fps. 250 yards. Looks like a slow kill, but it was deaded on its feet. Projectile just under off shoulder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iovPBtIdvRA

None. They get there super fast. But it is that noise when you tag a beast. Maybe it is a match made in heaven. Used to load 55gr TTSX for a mate but he hated them.
