Oly,
If your butt plate is shaped like the crescent one in picture, that would explain the unpleasant recoil effects. My factory butt plate is straight with a recoil pad.

Remington's 20 gauge Core-Lokt Ultra Bonded 260 gr Sabot Slugs are listed at 1900 fps. The difference is only about 100 fps compared to a 16 in Puma shooting 260 gr bullets.

Same bullet weights and similar velocities with similar weight guns yield similar recoil energy. Neither my Ithaca featherlight 20 ga nor Puma 92 have crescent buttplates so they feel the same.

One big advantage of the screwtop magazine is that if allows one to unload the magazine without having to use the lever to jack all the rounds out.
