Caldwell Lead Sled Max & the New Gen: Zero Recoil, Full Control

Recoil control just got a serious upgrade. Caldwell's Lead Sled series—trusted by shooters for over two decades—has evolved. From the compact Solo II to the feature-loaded DFT 3, and now the fully loaded Lead Sled Max, this next-gen lineup introduces smarter design, better adjustability, and real improvements in recoil management.

The updated systems now accommodate lever actions, pistol grips, and detachable magazines, and come with a new weight bag system that lets you fill with water or sand—no metal plates required. More room, more comfort, same price points.

We put it to the test with some serious firepower—because no recoil means no flinch, and no flinch means better groups. Watch the results and see what the new Lead Sled family is all about.
