I used the Leadsled once when my buddy had just bought one. We loaded it up with 50 lbs and stared shooting. The steel rings on my 7mm Weatherby were destroyed and the bases on my Omega were shaken loose.
I know many here use and like the sled but I'm a little gun shy ( pun intended ) after my first experience. I'm just looking for ideas that work for others. I went cheap the first time and I'm ready to upgrade.
