Want to know what the experts say about something I was told today.
During a conversation about my adding a Pachmayr recoil pad to my soon to have 458 Lott, I was told that adding lead shot or sinkers would help reduce recoil too. It was suggested that while I have the butt plate off, I pour in a few ounces, as much as it would hold, of lead into the butt stock.
This sounds kinda like a "bubba fix" to me. What to you all who have more experience with big bores say about this?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
