[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 649001, member: 24624"] I usually go with bipods because that's what I hunt with. Even so, a bipod sitting at a solid bench vs the same bipod prone in the dirt can give slightly different results. Sandbags are fine, but they require more fiddling depending on the rifle/stock to get the natural point of aim set just right. The best bench rest I have (and could afford) is a Caldwell Fire Control front rest which is rock solid. It's very adjustable for various rifle stocks and allows one hand fine tuning of the windage and elevation without breaking your cheek weld. I have several different Protektor rear bags depending on the type of buttstock I'm shooting. A lot of guys use the Lead Sled for big cartridges since it absorbs the recoil. But like Mikecr points out, you ultimately want to verify your load using hunting conditions or whatever competition criteria you shoot. -- richard [/QUOTE]
