Load testing and accuracy from a bench with bags and/or bipod. For me other shooter positions such as prone is to practice practical field shooting positions used in real world situations. Prone is the most widely accepted LR shooting position for most consistent and repeatable results.

From a nice solid bench, I use Caldwell's Rock Jr front rest, and a Caldwell cordura bunny ear rear bag. From prone, I am most consistent shooting with the fore-end over my Eberlestock J107, with a little rear bag from Dog-gone-good.

So let's say you had a choice of a really nice concrete bench or a really nice prone spot and you had to shoot the best group ever let's say money was at stake which would you go to...

Bench is by far the most comfortable in my opinion. Keeps your upper body in the most ergonomic position.

concrete bench and sand bags, but I'll toss lead prone with bags too for targets. critters and rocks usually get sitting position.

I would go prone. I can get over the rifle more and get better cheek pressure.
