Pulling shots right?

It does. When I was shooting Highpower competition, the wind was a fairly negligible factor (unless it was howling) out to about 300 yards. Past that you had to really pay attention to the flags, and at 600 yards being able to read the wind and mirage was critical to putting the bullet where you wanted it to go. This was with iron sights.
If you're using a scope (and I assume you are at 600 yards), then you might want to be sure your scope is leveled and mounted properly. If it is off-axis, it won't show at 100 but will at 600.Always looking for vintage Winchester and Marlin lever action rifles. Looking to sell? Know of one for sale? Drop me a line!

Yes, there is

Sorry, couldn't resist. With 3 different rifles, and 3 differently mounted scopes I'd say it is the wind rather than the scope leveling."... when a man has shot an elephant his life is full"- John Alfred Jordan

Could be some spin drift also.Comment

Could be wind (most likely) could be spin-drift (maybe) could be letting the rifle get canted (possibility). You seem to do ok at 100 yds and the .3 to .5 mil error would be quite apparent at 100 yds, equal to 1 inch. At longer distances the fundamentals are more important, cheek weld, grip, trigger finger placement, vertical/level scope reticle, etc. A 2 oz. trigger may help, but it would really be more of a crutch that masks a problem with fundamentals.
Most likely is the wind at 600 yds, especially with 75gr projectiles, less so with the 308 168gr.Comment

You should have about .12 Mil of spin drift at 600 yards according to Hornady's app. Depending on bullet and velocity.Comment
