Lead Sled Good or Bad???? - Long Range Hunting Forum
Jun 10, 2013 · What is the opinion of using a Lead Sled rest for working up a load? I have read that they are great, limiting human error, and then they suck and create inconsistencies. I am working up a load for a 6mm Remington and a 338-378 Weatherby. Today at 200 yards I shot groups with both guns...
Lead Sled 3 Review - Long Range Hunting Forum
Aug 21, 2020 · 1,412. Location. Middle Tennessee. Sep 27, 2020. #1. I've been using a Caldwell Tack Driver shooting bag for a few years now. Great rest for the range but I'm looking for something a little more steady with recoil reduction to discover best ammo for my rifles. I ordered a Caldwell Lead Sled 3 from Cabelas on sale.
lead sled shooting rest - Long Range Hunting Forum
May 17, 2002 · I have the older sled and put my snow chains (give or take 20 pounds) to better use. I also added a $1.99 straps for extra security, not necessarily to clamp on stock and barrel but from falling off the rest. I accidentally knocked the rifle before and almost lost it. As Jeff has noted, you cannot cradle the rifle accordingly.
Shooting Rest/ Lead Sled? - Long Range Hunting Forum
Mar 7, 2010 · I have a lead sled and don't use it much, I feel it gives flaky results due to the weird recoil of the rifle when the butt doesn't move freely back into a shoulder so the forend goes bouncing up into the air. so sometimes I get a good group, sometimes not so good.
Shooting Rest -- Caldwell Lead Sled - Long Range Hunting Forum
Nov 8, 2004 · The Cadwell Lead Sled does a good job. Have shot off one doing load runup,sighting in rifle and target shooting for almost four years. I have since changed to a different rest. It is called target shooting.inc 1000 rifle rest and is much more solid than the lead Sled.

We determined that my groups opening up was due to holding the rifle/scope differently when using the sled than when shooting off of bi-pod or bags.
Lead sled vs sandbags accuracy issues - Long Range Hunting Forum
Apr 25, 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.

If you can not duplicate the results in a rested field position ( hunting bag, prone bipod, sticks, back pack prone) then that means your accuracy load on that lead sled means squat.
Lead sled vs sandbags accuracy issues - Long Range Hunting Forum
Dec 8, 2011 · Whether on a bag or sled, you are putting your shoulder in it, just the weigth slows it a little. What I like about the sled is craddles the back of the gun too, as opposed to just a sand bag in the front, a V in the front. It is also nice when doing lots of shooting of 30-06/ There are also bags that craddle pack too.
