[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2810450, member: 42494"] You answered your own question. The reason a LeadSled is not accurate with a light rifle is because that heavy recoil from a light rifle has to go somewhere. Since a LeadSled prevents the recoil energy from going rearward, it forces the energy to be dissipated upward so the foreend jumps up. That's why you have to hold the foreend down on a light rifle - to keep it from jumping upward and ruining group size. It's better to allow a rifle to recoil semi-freely so the rifle moves straight aft and not up. In other words, shoot a light rifle off bags or standing off a loose fitting saddle tripod so your body absorbs the recoil straight back. [/QUOTE]
