RC.....Bollocks. Obviously you've never used a lead sled.
1. The same reason people don't like to take them to the range, is the same reason they are useful as hell even without the expensive bags of lead shot. The thing weighs about 35lbs by itself, its a heavy sucker. Most of the time I don't use any additional weight.
2. Until I see one, see pictures, or hear direct testimonials about someone who's rifle had a perfectly good wood stock that wasn't split or cracked prior to being fired in a lead sled that cracked on the sled, that's just another internet rumor. If you've ever shot off a lead sled you know they aren't bolted down, and aren't an immoveable block of concrete that you are pounding your rifle off of. Even a fully loaded sled moves a bit under recoil.
