[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3536423, member: 15054"] Lead sled is not needed and it will in fact make the rifle shoot different and I mean way different than if you shouldered it or just rested the front of the gun stock on a bag and shouldered it. Save your money and do not buy a led sled. Build a bag to shoot off of or buy one if you are not crafty. A bag of sand or bag of rice works very well. Take some old worn out jeans or long sleeve shirt and cut the leg or sleeve off and fill it. You can tie the ends shut with a hose clamp or staples or whatever. My accuracy loads come in 2 different ways a Low accuracy noe and a High accuracy node for my .308. My .223 is just a good shooter and most loads work well. Some powder has potential for more velocity than others. H4895 in .223 is way slower in velocity than N133 but both shoot excellent. I have Red dot powder and bullseye for pistol that I like to use and you can build really slow to medium velocity stuff. HP38 and Win 231 are the same powder and is a great choice for pistol. As are many more powders. I do not crimp my rounds. I get better accuracy without a crimp. I bought a chronograph. I use it just out of curiosity. It has NEVER helped me find an accurate load. I have had loads that shot within 3 fps of each other and some in that group shot exactly the same velocity but the paper with holes in it said it was CRAP! I trust the paper. "Accuracy nodes and OCW" look that up. I also shoot in the heat and cold with a load I feel is a good load and that will tell me if it is a good load in different temps. Just making the ammo colder will not duplicate a cold rifle and cold chamber. You must cool it all off to get definitive results. That just means you need to get out and shoot. [/QUOTE]
