Interesting that you posted this today. We were at the range today with 20 mph full value gusting wind. With my 223 bolt I ended up holding 2 full mils to get on steel at 400. Took a bit to work it out but once we got on it was a blast.Not knowing your skill level I’ll leave this here based off what you’ve asked.
There’s a lot of options including classes put on by Frank and others on here.
This is free and a good place to start. Ryan explains things well IMO. He has a lot of vids.

To the OP, I'd agree with the recommendation to just go and see if you like it. If so, 6.5 CM is a good starting place. Or you could have your 7mm rebarreled to a 7PRC which is still (barely) supersonic at a mile. Ammo is a bit more but damn the 7 PRC BC is hard to beat.
