[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 1098197, member: 63748"] [FONT=Verdana]That is one beautiful place to shoot. Hopefully the drive isn’t too far. Have you had the opportunity to use the BR2 for more precise predicted drop confirmation in the transonic to subsonic zones? The BR2 is attractive with dual purpose of ranging and computing at the same time. I additionally use a dual purpose analytics package for transonic to subsonic shooting. It’s somewhat of an inconvenience having to be on a laptop however, if I had access to multiple targets at various range, packing along the laptop is well worth the extra effort. The best part about shooting to determine drop with transitioning between the zones is not the range but rather the speed of the bullet. I find the larger capacity cartridges with low drag bullets and higher velocity a pain in the back end due to the very long range needed before the bullet slows enough to start the transition.
