[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1484413, member: 2736"] Like every other tool. the lead sled has it's place and its strong points. I use one for certain task and other means for other task and find the lead sled a very useful tool. I test fire all rifles in the lead sled because I can hold the rifle stationary and re moat fire it for safety. I don't add any weight to it because it already weighs 18 Pounds. I use Velcro to hold the rifle down during firing because it is consistent. For load development, I like it because if set up right , it does not add externally forces than could alter the results. I want it to remove any human factors so the results are what the rifle and load is doing. Once the load is developed, I like to use bags because they are more like real world results while hunting. The best results have been while using the Sled, I have 4 hunting rifles that consistently shoot groups below 1/10th MOA (My best was .034 5 shot @ 100 yards in the sled) The same rifle and load will only shoot in the .140s to .160s off the bags and my faults to deal with. So In my mind, It is the best way to do load development in order to measure small changes in the different loads. (The best example is with only a change in the primer on one of my most accurate rifles the difference is only .023 thousandths) without the lead sled I cannot shoot well enough to see this difference in these two loads. I use the lead sled that is fully adjustable and take care to get the best site picture each time and it helps a great deal. PS: I don't like shooting with ti because it doesn't fie me very well and is uncomfortable, but load development is another beast and it is the perfect tool in my opinion for this use. Just My Opinion and uses for this tool. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
