I had the same experience a few years ago Andy. I loaded about 3 or 4 boxes of that load and when I frired it I thought I had done something wrong. I shot only 1 box of those and they were excessively loud and pounded my shoulder. I decided to protect my gun, if nothing else, and quit while I was ahead.
I haven't shot any more of those but I will shoot them in my 16 gauge DHE with Titanic Steel barrels. It's a little heavier gun on it's 1-frame than my little 0-frame hammer gun with it's very petite and delicate wrist.
