Mine is rigged this way...

Works great!

K-1 MkII+DA*300/4+HD1.4TC

With the carry lug adjusted to the 9 o'clock position, I sling the kit across my body so it hangs from my left side at my waist with the lens pointed to the rear. Note the use of two attachment straps. The lug strap carries the load, the other is for peace of mind though I've never needed the backup protection it offers. I can go all day with no problems.

While my sling/strap setup is made by OPTECH USA, I bet you can rig your BR sling to work in a similar way.

Cheers... M
