Kicking around an idea

[Spindrift7]

I’m developing the load for my rifle and had an idea.
After I get the load figured out, and start dialing in my scope, I’ve thought about checking my zero against a Lead Sled or a version that comes from Hyskore that includes the rest and a remote firing device with tubing and a a syringe type plunger. I can get both items for the same price, so that’s not an issue.
Would it be worth it? Would the amount of adjustments I’d make, be worth $145 ?
I haven’t used either one, and I don’t need it to zero. Was just thinking about checking the zero. This is a new rifle and I’m just now starting to shoot it, and it’s data book.

Thanks again everyone !

A led sled will end up being a waste of money and ammo. Get a good bipod and rear bag instead.

Dont. Zero it to your position you will be shooting.

You would only know the zero of the lead sled.

You are part of the system, a zero set that eliminates you from the equation will be false.

Thanks for the input everyone!

Lead sleds are the biggest POS there are. Shoot the rifle the way it was intended.

Not as gay as buying a lead sled.

You could do it to test how different the rifle performs betwixt the sled & yourself & ofcourse, don't forget the shits & giggles part.
By all accounts &, my own experience, just putting too much fwd pressure on a bipod changes how the rifles reacts & the POI.
I've never tried a led sled but, I'd be surprised if the POI was the same with it as it will be when you shoot prone or off a bench without it but, you never know, it might pan out the same.
You'll have to try it to see for yourself.

Use the money to get a good muzzle brake if recoil is an issue.

Way more portable and usefull.
