And that is another consideration too cma that I did not fully take in to account. That BR rifle of yours is one heck of a lot more accurate than my deer guns. To me, .4" is accurate as heck for deer, but for you BR guys, .4" is out of the competition in the first round. That may well be where some of our disagreement is coming from. Even if I put my guns on the BR format you are using...I doubt they would ever shoot .2"... while my guns, optics and handloads are all good....they aren't BR quality.... they aren't designed to be.

So for me, and my rigs, there isn't enough difference to really be able to tell. It still really doesn't make sense to me, but I will conceade to your line of thinking when it comes to BR guns, since that is an area where my knowledge and expertise are novice at best.

What I still don't understand fully, is how a Lead Sled would be a hinderence over traditional sandbags, or tripod rests? How could minmizing recoil, in any fashion, ultimately hinder consistancy or accuracy?
