[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2111638, member: 10755"] There are really 2 schools of thought in this. 1) Use a front rest and rear bag to shoot load work ups. Doing this off a proper fixed bench is best. 2) Use a bi-pod and rear bag to shoot work-ups off a solid bench. Now, my experience with the latter is that unless the bi-pod is heavily loaded, I would get inconsistent grouping due to recoil bounce. The only fix was to place heavy beach towels under the bi-pod to stop the bouncing and load it up. This is somewhat difficult on a public range where they don’t want you clamping timber to their benches. Lol. Just pushing the bi-pod forward against spring pressure isn’t always consistent, pushing against a raised piece of timber is far easier. I develop my loads with a heavy Caldwell front rest, the one with the ‘bunny ears’ bag. This is what I shoot my groups with also when not testing my comp rifles that have their own system. Hope this makes sense, just woke up. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
