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.
