an interesting feature of the browning a5 auto loading shotgun is its ability to cycle a variety of loads, which create different levels of felt recoil...this is accomplished by changing the positioning of friction rings in their relation to the action recoil spring...for those not familair with how the a5 works, see the link below...

sooo, what about using an a5 as a test platform to determine the suitabilty of shooting particular loads in old doublegons, that you wish to protect from heavy recoil?

for example, if a particular load will not even cycle an a5 set up for light loads, then is that load most likely suitable for shooting in your old doublegon?

Absolutely makes no sense whatsoever. I think the OP here needs a wellness check.

Knock yourself out Ed.

To think that an A5 could be used with any sense of accuracy, or efficacy, to "test recoil" is beyond the pale.

Why don't you start a zinnia bed? You'll get much more satisfaction from it.

Recoil is weight x speed

Don’t waste the ammunition

Well I was just telling my wife ,no one is more ignorant than zeke down the road ,and edd proves me wrong again

Yet you have spent a day and seven posts trying.
