[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 861542, member: 52437"] I hate to bring in some possible bad news to this but this SAME problem happened to me a few weeks ago with my 300WSM browning x-bolt. Last year it was shooting federal fusions 1MOA or better. The rifle was hurting my shoulder so I got a brandy new lead sled. It was great at first. After 15 rounds, suddenly my groups were all over the place. Thought maybe my scope mounts came loose so I checked everything. Still shot poorly. Well, threw on an old scope I had and bamn, its shooting good groups again, so the new burris I had must have broke. Sent it back and fortunately burris sent me a new one. Needless to say, I dont know if it was coincidense my scope went bad after I started using the ladsled OR if the leadsled caused the scope to shake more violently and broke something internally but I now simply use the leadsled as a GLORIFIED gun cleaning rest haha. I MAY use the leadsled to sight in less powerful rifles but I DO NOT trust it with higher recoil rifles... the recoil absorption and the shock it may be giving to the scope may be bad. I have read others with similar issues and even some people having cracked stocks after using the leadsled. [/QUOTE]
