Not using any precise measurement tools I can tell these recoil much greater than an RST of similar composition. I’m shooting a one frame DH Damascus 12 gauge and I’m worried about stock damage. I’m wondering if others have had similar experience with this brand? I think they are well-made shells, but the felt recoil is substantially greater than others of this rating. Thx

Just curious as to why you shoot 2 1/2” shells in the D grade gun?
