With respect to recoil:

Many times it depends upon how you stand, hold and shoulder the gun. Heel should be high on the shoulder, maximum pull back into the shoulder, lean forward at the waist, and don't fight the recoil. Roll with it.

By leaning forward assists in returning to the line of fire, and with the body rolling back with the recoul, will tend to reduce it. I have been on a police range and fired numerous gun loads of 12 Ga slugs through the course of presinting a course of fire. (in excess of 25 rounds) and did not experience the brusing you mentioned. Brusing is usually relative to light or loose pressure to the should. You will ntotice that skeet and trap shooters do the same thing. Although they shoor lighter loads, they still use good posture procedure.
