    you are also reaching the limit of the 556/223 round at 500 yds +
    10mph you can work with
    if a flag is totally horizontal ...good luck (15mph+) its windy out here

    read the ultimate sniper cover to cover then read it again, not cheap
    the old blue army sniper employment manual is decent too and cheap, $6 (section on mirage)

    this website offers a pretty good ballistics calculator (there are others)
    needed data inputs can be found on ammo manufacturers websits

    you dont need a class, save your $ for ammo and good optics or
    take it to the next level and learn to reload with good components (nosler manual is good reading too)

    spend the time, effort and expense to build yourself a really good and heavy shooting table

    if you dont have one already ...you will eventually step up to a ranging reticle of some kind
    the humble old school mil-dot is plenty

    have fun
