"Some are definitely stout, stouter than I like for my shoulder, but the gun was designed and built to take it. These guns are more capable than a lot of people give them credit for. I load down too, but I'm frustrated when we don't distinguish between choice and the fact of what the gun was made for."
I agree Bruce. I don't worry as much about the gun other than the stock. My #1-1/2 and smaller frame guns have pretty slim grips. No way I'd put those stout 3-3/4 dram loads through my 1-frame 12ga damascus gun. That would hurt regardless of whether the gun would handle it.
