A lead Sled is the last thing I would want to use. Very unnatural shooting position and a good way to crack a stock if you are adding weight to the sled. If shooting lots of rounds off a bench go with a heavier rifle that has a side discharge brake. My 14 lb 6.5X47 has almost zero recoil. My 10 lb 2oz 300 Win Mag I could shoot all day with the Holland brake. This rifle sends a 215 Berger at 3000 fps so it is not a mild load either. Get a set of noise canceling ear plugs and you are set for the range and hunting with no recoil to worry about. Brakes make a huge difference.
