    Interesting thread

    For all my hunting and gong rifles I tend to load the bipod. Not heavy pressure, just enough to slightly rock it forward.

    Depends a lot on how rigid the stock is etc. A lot of it also is caliber and specifically projectile weight dependant. With FTR rifles (much heavier than avg hunting rig), we found 185gr was about the limit. Around 200gr and up in a 308, recoil management gets VERY hard.
