i just dont shoot full house barn burners through it everytime. 
i dont know if you reload but you can always load down if you do.

Sounds like you had more wrong than just a bad indexed barrel since they replaced the cylinder too. Did you notice the cylinder having any damage?

Welcome...
...I believe you're in good company.
Recoil has been something that I've learned to tolerate more than enjoy...
...most of the time.

For some reason...
...I find more tolerance to the recoil in hand guns than in rifles.
My 45-70 still grabs my attention...
...as did the 300WM last fall.
