[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2113659, member: 1521"] Sounds like you mean heavy [I]shouldering[/I] for large cartridges helps you make it through. And I can buy that. But on function, as applied to a rest, benchrest bags are not loaded, so why would a bipod be? What are you actually doing with a rest? With a Harris(a std bipod), the last thing anyone should do IMO is change free state angles(with fore/aft pressure to legs). Doing so would set up a condition where variance of loading, which absolutely occurs on firing, would change rest angles through the shot. You know what kind of a bench rest does something like that? I don't. I'm wondering if a bipod resisting forward movement simply allows you to get more shouldering force than you could get otherwise. If so, it's not a special thing that we must all do.
