Lead sled
Question? for all you bench rest reloaders, do you use some kind of support when you test your reloads? What do you use? I am not the greatest shot and sometimes I wonder if it is the cartage or me. I use a rock solid Cabbalas front support but the butt of the rifle is firm against my shoulder. I know that using a lead sled or similar device will not sharpen my shooting skills but it may help me to test my reloads, what say you?

This lead sled thing has been kicked around a good bit. Do a search and you will find some good information-or opinions. Personally I do not like them. I think your money would be better spent on 22 shells so you can practice your technique.
A lot of guys like them. But I can tell you one thing. You never see one on a BR table?? That is a real BR shooter?? And weight is not an issue with these guys. Heck you can barely pick up some of their front rests. Tom.
