When going to the 410s, 28s, and 20s, many times the ambition of the manufacturer to meet the needs of, say, an American grouse hunter, is to make the gun lightweight. Recoil is related to the shot charge and the gun's light weight. Perhaps, what you need is a 12 gauge, 7&1/2 to 8 Lbs, and some 7/8 ounce cartridges?
