Is there a reason to use the scope dials when you are only fighting wind. From moment to moment the wind fluctuates so why not just go by feel.
OHO:
There are a whole bunch of 'if's' in your question.
Easy answer is to use a hold.
Next is to put on a certain amount of windage and use holds from that setting. Used primarily if you are staying in one firing point and shooting in one direction.
Next is to either use your no wind setting or a specific wind setting and wait until the wind conditions match the windage you have on the rifle.
This is based on having a true 'no wind' zero. A difficult task that requires a single load and a pretty large number of zeroing sessions. And, it will be very good if you shoot from one position but as you shift to different positions, it and your elevation zero will probably change. Will such a change make a difference? Depends on the requirements of your shooting task.
