So you can reload hundreds of different calibers but can't load a picture.
Having met our late member @bruce moulds and had a chuckle in private messages , I don't think Bruce would have known many hipster millennials.
Yeah, I had some PM's with him as well. Really good guy and definitely able to take the ribbing I was giving him. Still miss him. RIP @bruce moulds.
Just what kind of competition were you engaging in with a slung up M1 carbine?
@BigSteve57I have a Safari Ching sling and have practiced with it using several rifles. I am also familiar with the military sling as I compete service rifle. The Ching and military slings work by putting you and the rifle under tension; the military sling much more so.
Both slings make my hold steadier in the seated and prone positions. Offhand I found little improvement using any sling (slings aren't even allowed in competition in offhand strings) but that could just be me. The problem I found with slings that put tension on the rifle is they share one common trait: using them changes my point of impact as compared to that from a bench or using shooting sticks. For me using the Ching sling with enough tension to make a marked improvement in rifle steadiness lowered my POI by 3 MOA as compared with shooting from a benchrest or shooting from a bipod/sticks. I did not notice a significant change in windage while using the Ching sling but I have a lot of practice with proper use of the military sling or I just got lucky.
Everyone's different. Perhaps you're able to remember what the change in POI is with & without a sling or you don't even experience it. What I finally opted to do was not use a sling for the benefit of steadying my aim and the resultant change in POI while hunting.
A Ching sling (or one that's similar) is worth a try but I suggest you do the work and compare your POI with and without a sling in the positions you expect to use while hunting.

@CBH Australia
Damn Bob...that's some strong hate you got going on there. Have a touch of the Bundy and we can talk about this.
I see your point,
You're a hard man Townsend Nelson! You our a hard man.
