[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1800164, member: 109378"] I always use my lead sled on a concrete bench when doing "the work" to try reduce shooting errors and foster repeatability. I have been told by some folks that Bi-Pods off the bench can actually induce some errors...I don't know about all that but Im definitely steadier off the sled. When practicing, I use various body positions, packs, sticks, rests etc., but that's shooting/hunting practice, not collecting data. Regarding the .2 &.3 groups everybody seems to be able to shoot:-)--I'm skeptical, and a three shot group doesn't count in my book, five is a better sample size and what the bench resters shoot. I've had several bug hole groups going until that evil fourth shot...and/or fifth. [/QUOTE]
