    I like to sight in using a bench + bi pod and sack of grass seed.

    Personally I get better results from that position than on the ground prone.

    Some people say that if a rifle has been sighted in from a bench there can be some variation shooting prone due to the change of eye position and angle. Would be interesting to see if that's what Kiwi Greg has found?

    Has anyone noticed any change in POI shooting those big 338's so close to the ground?
    Ie does the bullets shockwave get interrupted by the ground and cause POI shift?
