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.

Those are some heavy rifles! Part of the reason for the lead sled is also to reduce shooter inadequacy when building up loads and sighting in. Once I know that both the ammunition and rifle are accurate, then it must be the shooter's (my) screw up when I miss.
