Default RE: Limbsaver recoil pad?

ORIGINAL: 24/7 hunter

Does anyone use one of these? I am going to be doing quite a bit of shooting this summer and was wondering if my shoulder would thank me If I got one. How well do they work? thank you
I put one on my Ruger No. 1 .45/70 in which I was shooting a 400-grain bullet at 2270 FPS, with 58 foot-pounds of recoil. It sure helped take SOME of the bite out of it vs the Ruger factory pad (actually more of a hard rubber buttplate than a recoil pad). However, when shooting from a bench rest, I STILL have to loop the index finger of my left hand over the barrel to keep the gun from completely jumping off the sandbag! Maybe I should Magna-port it.....
