[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 289173, member: 2736"] I like mine because I shoot big bores with no break on them and the weight helps when working up loads and 40 or 50 shots are required. I don't use sandbags with it because it already weighs enough with out them and on hard kicking rifles (70 ft/lbs or more) I don't want to restrain the rifle to much and risk damaging or breaking the stock. I carpeted the tray and it is a handy place to hold scope caps or even the bolt while cleaning. Also when I proof test/fire a rifle with a BLUE PILL (Very Hot load over maximum) I strap it down to the lead sled and use a lanyard to pull the trigger from a safe place. It normally moves back 6 or 8 inches but it is the safe way to do it and still control the rifle. Once the rifle and load are ready and the zero is where I want it then I use sand bags only to make sure the zero doesn't move when using any kind of rest and your shoulder to make a shot on game. They are a great tool if used right. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
