That's for sure on the ouch, LOL! You may also want to tinker and see if it will shoot better with 3" than 3 1/2" ones. My buddy has a Benelli turkey gun and it shoots 3" turkey loads much tighter than the same 3 1/2" shells. You just never know what a gun will like best, but get a good bench setup like was mentioned or you will be the cause of not shooting well because you'll be flinching due to the recoil.
