Looks like you found a winner load. BUT I would advise no further use of the lead sled. My dad and I both experienced split tangs from using them. Rifle stocks are designed for the absorption of shock by the shoulder. Without the absorbing of shock, all that speed generated by the shot is transferred from the barrel/receiver directly into the tang like a wedge into wood.
