Are you shooting from the bench or offhand? They are better for shooting offhand with. I wouldn't port it or use a muzzle break because I hate the noise they create, but that's me. You might look into putting a better recoil pad on it. Either a Pachmayr Decelerator or a Limbsaver pad is what I'd recommend. I prefer Pachmayr only because I've heard that Limbsavers can sometimes get gooy sticky over time, but they have a great reputation for taming recoil. The Hornady load isn't that stout, but it is a little more so than the Remington 240 grain load so you might try that if you don't handload. You can also try shooting with a shoulder pad or bag of shot when at the bench in the meantime until you can get a recoil pad installed.
