External Ballistics

Stemming from a previous post of mine, I got a few ideas, however Im curious as to performance and ballistics. Im curious as to what would buck wind better. I LACK KNOWLEDGE ON THIS TOPIC. I know some say faster and lighter bullets, some say heavies..

At 1000 yards what would fight wind better as a 7mm? As a 30? And over all listed here with this data?

7mm:
Berger 180 at 3050 FPS
Berger 184 at 3050 FPS
Berger 195 at 2950 FPS

30 Cal:
Berger 200 20x at 3000 FPS
Berger 215 at 2940 FPS
 
I use JBM balistics online. There may be more precise ones but it will give you the general idea. Drift in moa at 1000 in order. Feel free to check my numbers.
