[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 1800195, member: 102254"] These days, I shoot only off a bench. The 75-year-old body rebels shooting prone, besides, the range gets upset when they have to call AAA to get me off of the ground. I do use a sled mainly for load development for the 338 LM. In my younger days, I used a front bad off the hood of my truck "sniping ground squirrels at a friends ranch. These days, it all bench shooting mainly to compensate for my frailties. Do I shoot 1/4" groups all day? Not for years. Now I'm perfectly satisfied if I can keep my groups under a quarter at 100 yards. I have occasional days shooting my "lightweight calibers when I can have some groups under a 1/4". I can say for sure when using a chronograph. I did keep 100 rounds inside a teacup. I did one experiment where I let the bore cool down to determine cold bore capability and did have 10 shots under a quarter. Can I do it on demand every day, doubtful, but under an inch with the 338 sure. [/QUOTE]
