As others have stated don't use a lead sled. I've personally seen a stock break at the grip on a 7 mag. This was a beautiful high grade stock too not a cheap savage wood stock.

I've always been a fan of them big loudenboomers. At age 75 I am now starting to appreciate muzzlebrakes. My shoulder ain't what it used to be and my hearing has been gone for a long time so the noise don't bother me none. She chews me out and cusses me all day long and I just nod and smile. I can still go 20 to 30 rounds on the bench with the 300WSM and 7WSM but I have a brake on the 338 WSM. My 308's and 6.5 and all the AR's don't bother me none at all. I prefer them without the brake screwed on as it helps accuracy.
I do use good Walker digital ear muffs to deal with the concussion. These Walkers are especially good on indoor pistol ranges shooting the ported .41 magLast edited by muzzlebrake; 10-14-2021, 06:35 PM.

Obviously you understand that sitting upright as much as possible helps, so the standing bench rest makes sense to me too.
How about clamped into a tripod?
You may not be interested in putting Arca rails on your rifles, but I think shooting off a tripod may help. I just sent off my 375 H&H to be completely worked over, and I'm putting an Arca rail on the new stock. I have only had my nice RRS tripod a short while, but I can keep an honest 1 minute group while sitting with a 308 and a 6.5CM. I've never done it with a 375, but planning to try.
