It will work. It's all what you like. I use the Caldwell 2 bag set for AR's and confirming zero during the season. But I use a Lead sled the rest of the time for sighting, adjustments, and recoil control.

It would be a lot better than staking up the 2x6s and 4x4s at some of the public ranges.

I use a rest similar to a lead sled. I chain it to the shooting bench so it doesn't recoil. I just use it to test loads/guns. For practice I shoot like I would be out in the field hunting.

I have the Caldwell dual frame technology lead sled and use it to sight in my rifles if I put a new scope on them. There is a newer type of lead sled that I would stay away from. The FCX lead sled had some problems with the adjusting system. I read about this when I was researching buying my lead sled. I have 75 lbs. of lead weights in 3 different 25lb Caldwell Bags that zip around the 25 lb. lead shot bags. I also use some straps to secure the lead sled to the shooting bench.
I use my DFT Lead Sled to hold the rifle stable and then I use the controls on the lead sled to line up the cross hairs on my scope to the target. I zero my AR15 at 200 yards and the bullets pass right though the bullseye at 50 yards too. I'm shooting 62 grain Green Tipped M855 ammo in 5.56 mm. I have a 1:7 twist rate and an 18" long barrel in my Daniel Defense Ambush Firearms AR15 in 5.56/.223.
The rifle will recoil enough to move the lead sled and the POA so after each shot I have to reset the lead sled so that the reticles are back on the target property. But that's easy to do with the manual adjustments on the lead sled. Even though an AR15 does not have that much recoil the lead sled moves enough to get the cross hairs off the target. Not much off the target but enough that you have to readjust the lead sled a few tenths of a MOA.
Now if you are shooting a heavier rifle or a shotgun that kicks like a mule the Lead Sled would really help to reduce the felt recoil when you are shooting.
Once I have the scope or EOTech zeroed in at 200 yards I shoot of some Caldwell shooting bags and don't bother with the Lead Sled anymore. I take the lead sled in the truck with me to the rifle range in case I need it.
