[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 120412, member: 1403"] I know what you mean about impact shifting. It bugs me to. I however dont have the same problem w/accuracy as your stating. This is what I usually do. I work up loads from a bench and a lead sled. The bi pod is on my stud on the rifle, but I work up loads and zero off the bench. Now the funny thing is, when I shoot off the bipod, its no longer perfectly zeroed, especially as the range increses. I think what one needs to do is sight in how he will be shooting. So I will be working up loads off the bench and lead sled still, but when I zero the loads, I need to zero off the bipod because they impact differently. Example being that my 270 takes 6 more clicks of elevation to get to 800 yards when I am using the bipod vs. shooting off my leadsled. It does make a difference and you need to account for it or you'll be missing at longer ranges. Its all a headache at first as to why your not hitting where you want, but everything has to be the same every time when shooting. I guess it goes for rests to, it has to. Usually my groups are bigger off the bipod because its not as steady as a bench rest. Thats why I dont like to zero off the bipod that much because its not as perfect of zero, but when you zero off the bench and then take a shot in the feild laying prone w/bipod, chances are your not gonna hit where you thought you were.
