Lead sled vs sandbags accuracy issues - Long Range Hunting Forum
Apr 26, 2017 · The problem is that when I shoot it without the lead sled my groups open up to around 1.5". I'm using sandbags upfront and a sandbag to support the rear of the rifle. My thinking is that the rifle is recoiling inconsistently without the lead sled and that's where the difference is. I feel very steady when I'm shooting with or without the lead sled.
Lead Sled 3 Review - Long Range Hunting Forum
Aug 21, 2020 · I agree, not a fan of the lead sled. Loaned a $3500 custom 270 to a guy about 10 years ago and he took it home and put it in a lead sled to check the zero he said. This gun was a Remington 700 Custom Shop AWR built in the late 90's and shot 1/2 moa with factory ammo when I loaned it to him to try out.
Load development: leadsled or bipod? - Long Range Hunting Forum
May 21, 2011 · I am pro Led Sled for all lighter caliber guns. like anything less than 30 cal super mags. They cut down dial in time. I bought a new 243 rem 700 Varminter.

Are lead sleds hard on scopes? | Long Range Hunting Forum
Dec 7, 2007 · I have seen two low end scopes go bad. They were replaced and broke again. I strongly believe it was because of their poor quality. I have been using a lead sled for almost two years and I shoot a lot of 375h&h and 300RUM and I have not had any problems. I am using Swaro scopes and Leupold VXIII scopes on those cal guns with no problems at all.

Caldwell Lead Sled - Long Range Hunting Forum
Jan 25, 2010 · +1 with J E Custom, I use my sled with 338win 300wby and 270 wsm and dont need any added weight. the sled is healthy enough. And I have also hered of the broken wood stocks with too much wt. ''for every action there is an equal and opposite re-action'' makes sense, though I have no proof or personal experience breaking any thing.
Muzzle brake on a 300 Win Mag? - Long Range Hunting Forum
Nov 25, 2011 · Use a Led-Sled with 100 lb. of lead at the range or wherever you target practice and work up loads. You won't really notice the recoil shooting a shot or two at game. This also allows one to develop a good shooting technique without flenching. Week before last I shot 3 rounds of skeet (target loads). Shoulder was sore and purple.
Hornady pod cast on bonded bullets! | Long Range Hunting Forum
Jan 6, 2015 · I also haven't ever used lead sleds or anything like that, bipods and solid makeshift in the field type rests like a backpack or a solid branch or the hood Of a van haha, but the way I see it I'm never going to be out hunting in the real world with a massive bench setup or lugging a led sled around or whatever.
