[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2922557, member: 1521"] A gun is a big tuning fork. For my hunting guns, I load develop off a Harris bipod in the dirt, because that's always how I shoot in the field. If I set a gun developed this way onto sandbags and/or bench rest, that gun will not shoot as well (with that load). For a BR gun, I load developed off Edgewood bags/heavy sand/Farley rest. It takes no more than a change of sand type to mess up this gun. And it's a 17lb gun with a well bedded BR stock and perfect balance set. I know a lot of people want to shoot their best during load development. Many assume best is with a bench rest. I suggest that it's better to develop with what you will actually use beyond development. So I wouldn't develop with a lead-sled/evaluator if I need my best from a bench rest. I wouldn't develop off a bench rest if I need my best from a bipod. Also, I shoot better off a bipod in the dirt, than bags on a rest. So I wouldn't mix rests in reverse either. [/QUOTE]
