The rifle does not need to be in a lead sled...I have a question.
Ignoring the one shot zero thing here for a minute, if you mount the gun in the lead sled, and shoot it once, see that youre on paper, somewhere, then shoot it again, without touching anything but the action to load the next round (even very carefully), will the second shot go "exactly" where the first shot did?
If it didnt, how will or can the "adjusted" zero make it happen?
Im not buying you can lock the gun in a vise and not have it move under recoil. If somehow you can, then you have to be interfering with the guns harmonics when fired.
Im suspecting that what some call "accurate", aint.
If you are sure of your hold (sight picture) when the rifle is fired, the rifle can move.
Now, using sandbags, cardboard box, lead sled, etc. return the rifle to get the same sight picture.
Without moving the rifle adjust the scope crosshairs to center on the hole
in the target.
Done. (For me) I do not load a "second " round.Others may take over 39 additional shots to be absolutely sure.
