Charles, you are not playing with your M1's, H&K's, M700's or anything like that. With the .45-70, you are dealing with significant recoil in a somewhat light rifle that has a great deal more barrel time than the other stuff you have been playing with. That all adds up to a rifle that is very sensitive to how it is held and what it is rested on. Like I mentioned in my first reply, the Lead Sled is a very bad idea. You will not get the same point of impact from it as you will from normal field positions when shooting a rifle like this. It may shoot smaller groups, and it will be much more comfortable, but it will not be zeroed when you are done unless you grab it in your own two hands and shoot it.
