I use the Lead Sled when I'm developing loads to ensure that its the load and not me when they don't go through the same hole. It is also great for a .270 on up to be sure I can shoot dozens if not hundreds of shots without a sore shoulder at the range. It has been a Godsend developing high end loads for the big .300s and the .375. I feel very little recoil on my shoulder and the load testing never suffers from jerking or flinching. I also use a Harris bipod and rear sandbag for a lot of my bench shooting.

I've used a sight vise, bags, jacket or soft gun case across the hood of the truck or from inside the bed on the tailgate or side of the bed, the seat of my four-wheeler. Had about the same results with them all. I only shoot rifles for huntin so if I'm in a 3" group at 100 yards I'm happy but I am usually inside 2".
