Yes - That ad on TV with the guy shooting the 416 Mag. He has 100 lb of shot on that thing. Don't do that. The recoil energy has to go somewhere. I have heard of guys putting too much weight on the lead sled and cracking their stocks. There was no 'give' for the buttstock.
IMO 25 lb should be plenty to substantially reduce the recoil of a ML.
I use 20 on mine and it makes the Savage with hot loads bearable. Chap
