Need to reduce recoil.

1. shoot free recoil
2. Caldwell lead sled (I haven't used one, but can't imagine they make a very good quality hold)
3. a bag of lead shot between your buttstock and your shoulder

I'm not particularly recoil sensitive, but when I shot 50 rounds though my 7 Mag in the summer, I would use the Magnum Past Recoil Shield really works in spreading the recoil over a larger area. Given that when you shoot, the butt of the rifle tends to settle in the pocket of your collarbone, does this transmit to your shoulder and cause pain?

I have one of these sewn into a shooting vest. I still need to further reduce the recoil, even with the pad. I am leaning towards the lead shot in the stock. I am thinking that by drilling out the stock and inserting a tube of lead, I can add a pretty good amount of lead. I am no adverse to the tuner/break but I would want one that was fitted for my barrel. I might do this over the winter. My gunsmith is a 100 miles from me. guess I could ship it to him but I don't like doing that. Things get lost in shipping. Then there is the fact that the rifle shoots so well I hate to tamper with it. Adding weight won't have any effect on the barrel and action.

Nick! What are doing up so late on a Sunday night?
Ship the barrel to Keith and get it done. Just insure it for twice the value! If they lose it, you can buy 2 more!!
 
I would add a can instead of the brake. Equal or better recoil reduction plus it gets rid of the noise. I see no reason the can cant be screwed on in front of a tuner like a brake.
