[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1991136, member: 105459"] [I]I own and use the Caldwell lead Sled 2. I use mine exclusively for all Load Development and Satterlee tests. Although the sleds themselves are different they use the same size sandbags. I would recommend that you consider purchasing two of the Caldwell brand sandbags and here is my reasoning. 1) They are flexible and easily conform to your sleds frame. 2) They come with a carry handle on top. 3) They are easily filled with sand using the zipper attached on top located just below the carry handle 4) They are easily stored and will not roll around like dumbells which must be blocked in to prevent movement. 5) They are easily transported from your vehicle to the shooting bench. OBTW I store mine in a strong plastic tub complete with lid, and when I need them I just open the container and carry them to the shooting bench. When my shooting session is done I just reverse the procedure and in this manner, I do not get any residual sand that seems to occasionally leak out to clean up. 6) However simply by placing a rubber nonslip mat under your lead sled I have found that you will not require any additional weight like sandbags or dumbells as the rubber will prevent your sled from moving under recoil. This seems to work for me! Good luck with your new sled.[/I] [/QUOTE]
