Lead sled?

[Dmay]

Can't find the link or fellas name just now, but few years back was a guy who fired the first shot out of his (forget the cartridge too) Merkel double rifle. $12,000.00 Merkel double. Broke the stock. He don't like lead sleds much.

I have witnessed two stocks cracking when used in a lead sled, both were in 338win.

If you really weigh them down you are asking for a cracked stock. Empty or with a reasonable amount of weight, they work well

I use mine after bore sighting a rifle/scope set up
Sometimes I’ll take it for the first few shots ahead of big game season.
I use it as a rest not so much a big recoil reducer
My 338 is still fairly free to move back as I don’t weigh it right down.
It’s ok to have around.
After I’m confident in the load and that the scope is dialed in, I will then switch to shooting sticks and off hand as that is how I will be most likely hunting. Not many benches where I hunt
Although I should go back and take a picture of the stump in shot my elk off of. Damn near level and allowed a clean 325yard shot.

Pretty much what I use mine for to. Never had a problem using it for my 375 hh on down to my rìmfires.
