    3" 20 guage is a bit of a hard case...sort of like the 3.5" roman candles in the .12ga
    you push a big payload out of small bore and its going to hurt,either of those shells with smaller payload wont boot the same.
    push a 1oz load out of either and it will be mild...up the .20ga to 1 1/4 and you starting to ask a falcon to fit into a minis parking space,the payload will be longer and harder to get moving as it has to squeeze its way through.
    push a 3/4 oz load at 1300fps out of ANY of the guages with same weight shotgun and felt recoil SHOULD be similar the pattern board would be interesting.
    trouble is and always has been when you get lightweight gun and feed it heavy loads.

    Remington wouldn't know lightweight if it bit them on the arse but even so you feel the buggers

    i,ve shot a lot of the Winchester 20g 3 inch 36 gram copper plated 4s and 3 inch fiocchi 2,s
    believe me the bc 3 inch steel load makes these look like pussys in the felt recoil stakes only unfortunately.
    I,l try any load they bring if its available in useful shot sizes I hope I'm wrong but my gripe is I doubt we,l get the choice we get in 20 g lead or 12 steel I doubt we,l get f all choice to be honest.
