My dad had a Mag-10 and it was softer when compared to my Marlin Super Goose 10ga. It was the heaviest recoil I'd experienced until I shot Buffalo Bore in my unported Guide Gun. That made me decide I didn't need anything harder hitting than that.
Snappiest was .357 Mag 125 JHP out of a scandium J Frame. That made my .44 Mag Mountain Gun feel like a target gun!
Oh, a brake or porting will definitely help tame recoil, but it will be a lot less pleasant at the ears. A mercury recoil reducer in the stock would help too, but at the expense of extra weight. No such thing as a free lunch!

What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…
