| Other than the Caldwell Lead Sled what is a good bench set up for accuracy testing etc? DIY is preferred but want to see what others are using. Thanks to all who reply. |

For best accuracy, sandbags. I made some taking old jeans and cutting off the legs and filling them and taping up the ends. LOL. It worked. But I also use a caldwell front bag and then I got this leather rear bag because the caldwell on is too small. I sometimes use a bipod on my recce but I think sandbags are the best. Plus going prone mitigates any wobble in whatever bench you're sitting on. Some are better than others obviously.
I don't have pics of the jean sandbags. I haven't use them in a while because the other stuff is easier to tote to the range and I got lazy......

For testing, I've seen a doohicky rigged up with a plunger and a syringe connected with a piece of tubing. It worked as a remote to press the trigger so you aren't making any contact with the gun. Taking you and your shakey, flinching hands out of the equation.
