What rear rest is everyone using for load development and in the field? Thoughts on Protektor, Hunters Wedge, etc?

Hunters Wedge Mini user here. Easy to carry in pack and very handy. I've even strapped it to my backpack waist belt to keep it at the ready while hunting.

I use an Atlas bipod up front and an LRO Hunter's wedge in the rear. I have the pint size game changer but it's too short to use with the Atlas.

This is similar to what my set up would be - an Atlas bipod up front and a rear rest.

I think I have it narrowed down between the LRO Hunters Wedge with the standard fill and the schmedium game changer.

Is your LRO Wedge a Lite fill or Standard. I just feel like I would have to own one of each haha. One for load development and one for field use

A Chinese 2 dollar neoprene lens bag filled with plastic grain inside wife's pantyhose leg. Works like a charm.

I think my wedge is a lite fill. A standard would probably be better for bench use.

Curious what rear rest everyone is using for each application. I assume that this is one of those scenarios where there really is not a right answer.

I am considering buying a Protektor for load development and the Hunters Wedge with the Git Lite for hunting. Does anyone do anything similar to this? I feel like the extra weight of the Protektor and the solid base will make it better off of the bench compared to the Wedge.

The Hunters Wedge seems pricey, but I don't mind paying for a great product that can make my shots in the field better.

Sounds good. Unrelated, but your videos it looks like you are very much letting the rifle shoot itself - have you seen this cause accuracy issues with big magnums? It looks like your right thumb is pretty much the only thing on the grip

slight grip on the pistol grip, but yes don't over grip, thump is to control the CANT

Can the Mini Wedge be opened and closed, so you can adjust or change the filler material?

Please send pics of wife with neoprene lens bag stuffed down her panty hose leg. No NSFW please. You are blessed with a truly loving wife; mine would never agree to that set-up. And how does she handle cold weather hunts wearing panty hose? So many questions about how this works in the field.
