[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 57275, member: 547"] I agree with Wapiti on the field positions. Unless a person really [i]trains[/i] in field positions, they'll likely have a larger spread than changing ammo. I've seen a trained sniper shoot 6" low at 100 yards just from shooting off a soft pack in heavy winter clothing. Speaking of which, if you zero your rifle in shirt sleeves, then switch to thick puffy winter clothing, you'll possibly have a shift of 2-3 MOA from the different recoil in lock time. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] The difference of bench to bipod to pack to field position varies completely from shooter to shooter. We had a discussion here a few months ago about whether or not to "load" the bipod tension forward.
