Porting won't do much for recoil, it's primary purpose is to reduce muzzle jump. Lengthening the forcing cones and back boring will reduce recoil and improve shot parents. Gun fit is also extremely important in spreading recoil and there are low recoil loads available for trap. The current crop of quality shotguns will have barrels designed to reduce recoil.

Bullets! I’ve seen one hit amongst a LOT of attempts. In fact - the one hit I did see, may have been a delayed clay failure - but claimed as a hit nonetheless lol

I can't see that gathering much interest :-)
Running Bore competition would be fun though.
