I've been shooting my .338 with 225 TSX's off of my lead sled since day 1. 2 weeks ago I had it at a friend's house with no lead sled. It was no fun. I still shot under an inch, but it would have been a 3 shot >.5" if I hadn't pulled the third shot. First two were touching, but the second shot hurt a little as I didn't have the butt in the shoulder socket correctly. I think I anticipated the recoil a little on shot 3. That being said, I have never felt any recoil of any rifle I have ever shot while hunting. That includes the .338, 3 1/2" turkey loads and .45-70's. Bench shooting is the worst.
