[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1308223, member: 63138"] NV Factory ammo will usually not shoot as good as handloads and some factory ammo can be really bad so I wouldn't conclude that it is you that needs fixing - though that might be true. I don't know how to say it any different than what I already said. You have tuned your load to work with the lead sled. Take the lead sled away and the tuning goes away too. And while it is true that a heavier gun has an advantage when you go to shoot it, light weight hunting rifles can shoot lights out. So... were I you I would first tweak your load a little up and down to see if that won't get it back on a node with you NOT using the lead sled. I've got a buddy who has several Tikkas and they all shoot good BUT he had to put in the time in load development to make that happen. Just so happens he uses a lead sled for a lot of the work but does final tuning using field rests for all the reasons than have been talked about in this thread. [/QUOTE]
