I'm installing a "Decellerator" recoil pad on my deer rifle. I'm not using a jig.

I used a disk sander to get the rough shape. Switched to a sanding block w/ 150 sandpaper for fine-tuning. I'm now using a vibrating sander to finish it off.

My problem is this. The base of the recoil pad is a perfect fit, perfectly smooth. The softer part is kind of "mushroomed" out...it has a larger diameter than the base.

Whazzup with this?

Thanks in advance for your help.
