I have a Jones adjustable plate on my Winchester 1300 and a kick eez pad that is full sized that I use for turkey hunting for the main purpose of getting a good solid mount of the gun into my shoulder with lots of surface area of contact.
Having lots of surface area in contact helps by spreading the recoil of the gun over a larger area, thus helping reduce the negative effects of it.
I am also an overgrown farm boy and the adjustable pad also helps for getting the gun to fit me better, lengthening out the pull to about 15 inches. that way my thumb does not punch me in the nose everytime I pull the trigger.
I have the same type set up on my clay target guns for repeatable mount and improved fit. On the clay target guns it was the best thing I did to them. Those games are mainly shot with a pre-mounted gun, not low gun.
