[QUOTE="Nvhunter92, post: 1306982, member: 101230"] I feel like benchrest shooting does have a place in hunting rifles and I don't think I'm "tricking" the gun into doing anything. I think that by using a lead sled I'm eliminating myself from the equation as much as I can to test my rifle and my handloads. If I can shoot .7" groups from a lead sled then I know the rifle and load is capable of doing so regardless of shooting position...it tells me that the difference between my .7" groups from the lead sled and my 1.5" groups from sand bags has something to do with me and my form. I agree that if a guy only shot his hunting rifle from a bench and sand bags then threw a bipod on and went hunting without testing his gear it would provide sub par results. I know what my gun is capable of, I want to better my shooting form (or whatever it may be) so I can close the gap between what my rifle is capable of and what I'm capable of. [/QUOTE]
