   That's how bullets should look. Now I've got a toaster oven once you say they work as well as the blue I'll be away

   This straps onto you, I used it with the 45/70, rifle is untouched, mine all have steel butt plates.

   I tried the Pachmayr Decelerator on my 7WSM - it was no better than the factory Model 7 one. I think a Limbsaver would be a better off-the-shelf option.

   Another couple of options are the Packmayr Decelerator and a new entry on the market is the Backfire Backstop pad.

    Interesting. Here is a pic of my "donor" rifle, currently with a 16" barrel in 308, weight is 3226g (7 lbs) at this stage. A Scott Cowan stock would drop it by about 400 - 450 gms. The current...
