Lead Sled Issues
It was the Lead Sled. POS/ Piece of Shit. It was affecting barrel dynamics/recoil in wierd ways. So I went back to my rickety old rifle rest and got 3 of my Rifles sighted in. Got amazingly good and consistent groups from Hornady Outfitter ammo with a 225gr CX bullet. See pics. I still have the... -

8/32 tread left. Good for a 6,000 mile road trip?
I can drive my truck with my feet. But it's probably not a good idea. Think heavy snow, & ice or heavy rain.- Cornbread

Well, I did with the Meopta that was first on that rifle. Same issue with the Zeiss -

Lead Sled Issues
Another question. I put the Zeiss on the .338 BAR and the first shot at 100 yards was 25" to the left. The scope mounts are Leupold QD mounts because those are the only rings that can take the recoil of a .338 win mag. There is no way to move those rings, the rear to the right, so i don't have... -

Lead Sled Issues
Leupold VX5s and Zeiss Conquest4s. I had a Meopta Optika6 on the 338 initially, and I thought sht, maybe its the scope. Changed it to an absolutely new Zeiss Conquest4 and it was doing the same sht. LOLOL. Those quality scopes are pretty durable. I will find out in the next week if I damaged any... -

Lead Sled Issues
I will head to the range in the coming days and will find out. I was shooting halfway decent groups with my old rifle rest, but it was on a shaky card table at the time. I'm guessing that the concrete table and getting rid of the LS will improve my groups. $200 down the drain. Plus tge cost of... -

Lead Sled Issues
You should try wasting .338 win Mag ammo at $85-105 a box. Also wasted 300 win mag ammo. God, it just pisses me off. I pray to God I didn't ruin any of my Scopes. I'm pretty sure I haven't but time will tell. -

Lead Sled Issues
I would have to say that you hit the nail on the head getting at the variation in barrel harmonics. My buddy Mitch said that I'm pushing the rifle to a varying degree, and a millisecond after firing, the rifle wants to ho back to where it thinks it should be. Add on top of it that each barrel... -

Lead Sled Issues
So basically, when I put the gun in the LS, I put the crosshairs on te target at 100 yards. Went to hold the rifle, and the POI had changed, so I re-centered the rifle using the elevation & windage adjustments. Hold rifle, and I'm getting 6" groups, and they are moving all around. WTF. ThenI'm... -

Lead Sled Issues
In the next week I'll be going to the range. Came to that conclusion. About 3 mos ago I sawa comment from an adversary about never shooting from a Lead Sled. I registered it the back of my mind. Thought at first just a crackpot, but didn't completely discount his comment. Now I see why. I'm... -

Lead Sled Issues
My stock on the .338 win mag (a 2003 Browning BAR Safari) actually loosened up!!! WTF. Yesterday, when I cleaned all my rifles, I also tightened up the scre holding the stock in place. -

Lead Sled Issues
That is exactly the conclusion I'm coming to. POS. Marketing hype. Afyter I get a few more repsonses I'll post what I think is the problem, solely with the sled. -

Lead Sled Issues
Recoil not the issue. I thought the LS was supposed to lock in the gun. Apparently not. -

Sell or Send back first?
I think I saw a video by Erik Cortina showing him soaking his accurizer he sells in CLR, for say 10-20 mins. Find that video on Youtube under his name. I personally HATE brakes. They will give you a flinch from the muzzle blast if you don't use serious hearing protection, and I dont believe in... -

Lead Sled Issues
Thought I'd spend the dough and bought a Lead Sled DFT2 about a month ago. Was getting weird behavior on my groups. Consulted 2 friends with quite a bit of range time. One friend had actually had one and experienced the weird groups moving all over the place. I don't want to hear from anybody... -

Protection in bear country
In the end, he had a stent put in. His biggest worry over the past 3 years is surviving colon cancer. And he's been diabetic since his early 20s. All I know is that he got bounced from a horse, hit his head, and 2 weeks later they were putting a stent in his head. Im not a vascular surgeon, but...
