Ive been looking at getting the Leadsled, i've used the search feature here and got one thread and it wasn't that good cause no one commented. But right now i've been using either my elbows or the caldwell shooting bag (front), and I don't really like it. Mainly i've wanted one to shoot handloads from just so I could take myself out of the equation with dealing with flinching and other problems contributed with human interaction. But I am cheap and am not going to pony up the 120 bills for one at cabelas (basspro is way to far). The only first hand knowledge I have is my dads, he shot it at the range while checking his shotguns before the season started, He said it was great. But I want others input

The lead sled is pretty handy. It will help keep the gun steady, and with some weight on the tray it'll take most of the kick out of a rifle.

It's great for sighting in a long gun that has a kick. Takes the
pain out of shooting, especially if you have a bad shoulder. It
is pretty effective without weights on it. Cabelas and some other
stores do put them on sale.

I have one and it is ok. The bag material for the front rest and stock end is not all that great. I replaced the front bag with a better one from Stony Point. Make sure you factor in the cost of two 25 pound bags of lead (it will hold four). The bags fit perfectly, other weights didn't work out so well for me.

I also used it by attaching it to my big heavy shooting table with threaded rod. The manufacturer says not to, but it worked ok for me.
