Default Muzzleloader shooting techniques ?

Just wondering if some of the more experienced ML shooters can share some pointers on shooting techniques.

I'm shooting a modern inline.50 calgenerally with250grain saboted bullets.

Is there a point where the gun caliber and/or bullet weight or powder chargenecessitate a shift in technique from more of a "light rifle" technique (loose, light hold) to a "magnum rifle" technique (hard, firm hold)?

Does any recoil occur in muzzleloaders before the bullet leaves the barrel?

Is it OK to use a lead sled when shooting a muzzleloader?

Why does the recoil from a muzzleloader, shooting a bullet of the same weight at the same speed of a rifled shotgun, feel considerably less?
