Long time lurker here... and I finally have a question out-in-left-field enough that I couldn't find the answer via search.

I am just getting into reloading/load development and I had always assumed that a gun vise is used to check for grouping during load development to maintain point of aim as best as possible. Is this not something people do? It looks like everyone just uses shooting rests... is that just the way it's done?

With my prior assumption, I went looking for a gun vises and from reviews on midway, it doesn't look like gun vises are suited for such a task. I was surprised not to find a gun vise that bolts to the bench and holds the rifle completely in place.
