[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1418235, member: 8873"] Yep, two ways to skin a cat...old(ish) school and new style. Even if you are using an app you should still be keeping track of your dope. The offset ballistic calculator function is great, but electronics are prone to failure. Then what do you do? My phone (w/ballistic app) got so cold this past season, after just a few minutes being exposed, that it shut down until I rubber banded (is that a word?) a hot hands to it and left it in my inside coat pocket for a while. Use both methods... The two load technique isn’t just for the range, I know guys that have two loads for their hunting rifle; a well constructed or bonded bullet for close shots and a higher BC more rapidly expanding one for long range. I’ve been considering this as my experience with an elk at 40 yards and 300 grain Bergers out of a RUM case were less than desirable. Been looking at the Sledge Hammers for closer work and staying with the Berger for several hundred yards and out. [/QUOTE]
