Does it need a recoil pad as I really want to stick with the Neidner butt plate. I shoot my 7mm Rem Mag Mauser, 160 gr Nosler partitions without a pad, but it's a pretty heavy rifle.
Also since all my spare time is spent dog training I don't reload anymore so off the shelf cartridges would be better. Not that I couldn't take an evening off to load up some cartridges, I just don't make a big deal out of working up loads like I used to.
