Direct replacement screw on Limbsaver recoil pad for NEF/H&R single shot shotguns?

I have a H&R 12ga. Single shot shotgun and want to find a Limbsaver recoil pad that will directly screw into the wood stock. Searching the internet, I've found two suggestions that may or may not work.

First is Limbsaver # 10003. Someone said this one would work if your shotgun came with a recoil pad from the factory. If it didn't you'd have to cut 1" off the stock for it to work. I don't recall any single shots coming with a recoil pad from the factory, but I could be wrong.

The second is Limbsaver # 10702. This seem to be for a Beretta shotgun and was said to fit right on the end of the wood stock.

I really don't want to get a slip-on since I don't like the way they look, so I'm hoping some Limbsaver out there mates up to the stock as well as the screw holes. Considering these things are cheap and everywhere, I'm surprised Limbsavers hasn't made a direct replacement for them yet. Any and all suggestions are welcome. I've cut the barrel to 18.5", put on a new bead, refinished the stock and forend so I'm hoping to put on a Limbsaver pad as the final touch.

Recoil versus traumatic brain injury

Yesterday, 05:17 PM Location: Springfield, South CarolinaIt sure can't be good for you in long run. I had a boss at Aberdeen Proving Ground who ran the high impulse shotgun test that made him black and blue. It did not heel and about four months later he was diagnosed with cancer in that area and died a few months later.

We had an Industrial Hygiene Specialist assigned to us ( least I think that was what he called himself) and I remember him saying the rule of thumb is if you first are exposed to something and you sneeze, cough it will in all probability not be good for you in the long run. Thus if you are shooting something hard enough to give you neck pain and headaches upon firing it cannot be good for you either.
I had a 458 Mag. Never shot it with full house loads but I dumped it. I had a 300 H&H Sporter that was not pleasant to shoot and dumped it. Had a 338 Mag and never shot it. When I have to shoot medium/heavy recoil guns now I use a Kick Killer recoil pad on the bench. Oh yeah I had a Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 Mag let a guy shoot it and it dislocated his thumb. Knew other guys that shot one from him and wound up in ER getting head stitched up, dumped it too. Now I have a Ruger Redhawk which is far more pleasant and kept it.

Had politicians that gave me heart burn and dumped them too ! ! ! ! ! It just doesn't pay to keep doing something that give secondary effects that cause pain. For instance my father in law hated one politician so bad his doctor ordered him to not watch the news as he had a heart condition and he died five years ago.

Yesterday, 10:25 PM I can shoot large, powerful cartridges. If someone at the range has a heavy recoiler and offers to let me shoot it, I will. I always have, anyway. But that's for my own curiosity and satisfaction. Really though, a stout 180gr bullet load in 30-06 is about all I need, and even then, not on any kind of a regular basis. I've got a little headache before after taking the 30-06, 35 Remington, and another rifle to the range to shoot 20 loads with each.

I think the 458 Lott belongs to a few limited, dangerous African game. It's too big for quail. I think you did good though for wondering about it and trying it out enough to become expert with it. I have zero desire to do anything with that cartridge (or anything similar to it, to include the Weatherbys) except read about it. Even then, the story had better be good. ((()))

reduced recoil 8x57 mauser

From Hodgdon:

1. Find where the base of the bullet to be loaded is located in the case and make a mark on the outside of the case at this location.** Then fill the case to that mark with Trail Boss, pour into the scale pan and weigh. This is your
maximum load. Pressures will be below the maximum allowed for this cartridge and perfectly safe to use!

2. Take 70% of this powder charge weight (multiply the maximum load from step 1 by .7), and that is your starting load.

3. Start with this beginning load and work up to your maximum charge, all the while searching for the most accurate reduced load. Once found, the fun begins!

**NOTE:
I mark a pencil with the inside-the-neck shank depth of the bullet as it will eventually be seated. Then I fill the case until that pencil (dropped into the case) hits that mark. Weigh it. That is 100% case fill

NOTE: DO NOT EVER LOAD TRAILBOSS TO WHERE IT COMPRESSES

How does 45colt recoil compare?

Hi All,

My experience with handguns is from .22 up to 357 mag in revolvers.

I am interrested in 45colt. I used to reload for 357 magnum and plan on resuming that.

I am thinking of getting single action revolver in 45 colt. Can you compare the recoil to 357 mag revolver or 45 acp in 1911.

Unfortunately range near me doesn't have one to rent.

The aesthetics of barrel around 4 3/4 inch appeals to me.

Thanks for any feedback

gun weight in 3 inch barrel where you feel shooting .357 magnum felt recoil is accept

In my limited experience "good" grips are more important than more weight.

I had two .357s, a 39oz 6" M-19 with factory wood grips, and a 22+oz 2 1/8" M-60 with UM's Combat grips.

The same .357 loads were much more comfortable to shoot from the M-60.
