The 870 does kick and 350 grain slugs at 1800 fps is going to hurt at the bench no matter what you do to contain the recoil. I use a foam pad when sighting in my 870.

If you are recoil sensitive try the reduced loads if you want. It's better accuracy wise than the old pumpkin ball slugs and an smoothbore barrel.

Like skeet said you are not going to feel it in the hunting woods just sighting it in.


I use the hornady SST slugs now and used to use the federal barnes expander slugs. Both hurt at the bench.
