Winchester 70 Pre64 Recoil pad replacements?

I picked up a factory reproduction Winchester pad from Justin at pre64.com as you say, but it is not notched and looks terrible so I'm back to the stock plate with a slip-on pad. Rifle fit is just fine, I'm just getting old.

It's a 30-06, a gem of a rifle. I've had a slip on pad for years but LOP less ideal and looks terrible. Working up a new load and, without the pad for a change, it certainly left a mark after a day on the range.

Testing out.010, .015, .020 .025 .030 .035 .040 if weather clears up this week. Powder node was aquired at .005 and wasn't impressed.

Winchester 70 Pre64 Recoil pad replacements?

It's got field use wear but otherwise great shape, I don't want to make any modifications that's why I was hopeful for a padded buttplate swap for a season that I could use as needed. I wouldn't sell the classic stock. And dropping it into a synthetic wouldn't be ideal.

Anyone have ideas on recoil pads that match well to a pre-64 Winchester 70 with the notch style steel buttplate? Not a slip on either, would like to keep it clean looking.

IMR vs H 4350

Any handloaders more familiar with the difference between the two, IMR and hodgdon 4350? Had good success with H but IMR results have been lackluster. Specs: Winchester 70 24", 30-06, 168gr a-max. For the IMR using a node at 56.4gr at 2850 fps average. Will do a new seat depth assessment this...
