OK, had to test some Berger hybrids today and took the G7. I was able to range large rocks (3'-4') at 1033 yds in bright sunlight I was able to range bushes out to 1600 yards. I found some dark brown rocky ridges and was able to start ranging them and then drive further. I got my last reading at 1957 yards. This was at high noon!
Just ranging a grassy covered hillside didn't give the best results. It was much better to find a specific target that was darker than the rest of the hill. Almost all our fauna is evergreen so there was always something to range.
When setting up the target, the Leica CRF1200 ranged it at 297-298, the BR2 at 300 even. Not sure which one was right but was surprised that they were as much as 9 feet different at 300 yards. Both claim to be more accurate than this.
As an aside, the new 140 Berger Hybrids were pretty forgiving on seating depth and shot about 10% better than my Amax loads.
