I have a Mossberg 695 bolt action in the 12ga. It is my "go to" deer gun. My son has an H&R single shot in 20ga. and it is a nice gun. When shooting at a deer, I really don't notice a kick with either.

As for the hornady sst, I don't like them. The accuracy is terrible. Some of the shells have the writing a different color, (on the shell itself), and the two do not hit even close to each other. I have tried them on a few different guns, and had friends say the same. Just my .02

After rereading your original post, I would put more into the shooter and shells for accuracy than I would gauge.
