Shimming just the wedge still makes the wedge absorb the recoil. The proper way is to shim the end of the arbor so it bottoms out in the hole. That way you have a solid fit and don't have an angled cylinder gap. All the recoil is absorbed by the arbor and barrel lug not the wedge. You can drive the wedge in as hard as you want to and not change the gap.
