[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1152064, member: 14204"] I have been using lead sled since 2008 without any problems. Those that I know that had cracked stock problems used excessive counter weight to eliminate recoil (instead of reducing it) ... the weakest link (in this case the rifle stock) will reveal itself in due time. I don't use any counter weight as IMHO, the sled provide enough to reduce the recoil. Mine comes very handy during load development and barrel break-in (as I can transition from shooting to cleaning and back to shooting again with ease ... it also makes a secure cleaning station). I also put a $1.99 straps to secure the rifle (but I never tighten it during shooting) as I have knocked my rifles one too many times for gravity check. :rolleyes: [IMG]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f258/lara3ec/SWFA%205-25x50%20SS%20HDFPP%201%20of%203_zpswv5nivdn.jpg[/IMG] Because I cannot get the best cheek weld and cradle with the sled, I refine my loads for my hunting set-up (bipod and rear support on bench and then prone) as required. If I can shoot a nice group without the best cheek weld/cradle, I know I can always do better with it prone. :):Dgun) lightbulbWhen used accordingly, a lead sled has it's place but understands it's not for everybody and boils down to personal preference.lightbulb Cheers!
