[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1421124, member: 10291"] Unless shooting Benchrest/ “free recoil” where a competition style front rest/rear bag gives best results, I do the bulk of my “hard hold shooting style” load development and testing from a prone position with a rear bag. It’s easier for me, to keep the shoulders at a 90 degree angle to the barrel. The “angled” position from most bench set-ups is difficult to control, and a major source of inconsistency, particularly with hunting weight rifles. The prone position(properly executed) gives me the greatest degree of consistency, and has usually produced my smallest groups. All other, more elevated positions used in hunting/competition will maintain a 90 degree shoulders/barrel relationship as well. IMO, this aspect is critical to accuracy/consistency. [/QUOTE]
