The best thing you can do is pattern your shotgun with different chokes to see which holds the best pattern. A full choke in my Berretta leaves big holes in the pattern. Modified seems to work the best with all different shot sizes for me.

@jimhuntsaz2305 6 жыл бұрын

Chris Haarstad how fast is your load through the full choke? Pellet deformation is common in hot loads and a full choke (loads over 1300fps). High speed steel is a sales gimmick. I'll take denser patterns with less fliers over speed any day.

I know a old gent here that has a 8 ga shotgun that belonged to his Grandfather. Thing is a double gun with external hammers it fired a 3.25 in, 3.75 in and 4 in brass casing it would kill ducks out of a flock at 130 yards he said. Now I have a Remington Model 1100 12 ga. 30 inch barrel choke is full its only chambered in 2.75 inch, with #2 steel I can take ducks and geese out to 50 yards.

My best load I have done is reloading high velocity ITX #4 shot. I think I use the 1 1/8 ounce bushing for three inch shells. The shot is almost as heavy as lead, soft, but holds up for higher velocities. It is nice to take down geese and ducks in one shot. Son has done good with 3” 20 gauge ITX as well. Tempted to cut 12 gauge loads to the 2 3/4” but concerned loss of velocity will not be as effective on range or geese.

Here in ND as long as you’re not taking 50-70yd pot shots at giant and greater Canada’s you don’t need anything more than a 3” shell. I use a 20ga for everything nowadays and it works just fine as long as I’m selective with my shots.

I shoot a Stoeger M3500 with 3.5 in. Hevi Metal #2s for mallards and big Canada’s all year in Ohio normally in sub zero temps. I actually save shells by doing this bc the plumage on the birds up here is so heavy that you just can’t kill birds stone cold without that 3.5 in. setup. We only hunt fields and the Ohio River big water so a lot of shots are passes at 40+ yards. Early goose season in September however I shoot the cheapest 3 inch I can find bc the birds barely have feathers. It basically all depends on how you hunt and where at. Great video man.

Had a flock of gwt last year come bombing in and without thinking jumped up shot and the first teal took a full pattern and actually shot back out from the force of the pattern hitting it. But I refuse to shoot 3.5 inch. There's no need for it imo unless your turkey hunting.

When I started to really get into bird hunting I bought a stoeger m2000 (had 500 bucks to my name) that didn't shoot the 3.5 did just fine for the most part. Shot a friends Franchi and fell in love, bought the Intensity for the option of running 3.5. I think I've used one box of 3.5 in the field in the 4 years I've hunted with it. The only knock I can really have on my Franchi is the factory chokes didn't work for me. Bought a Carlson choke set and I always left my Long Range in. Even when creek jumping and upland hunting. Run 2s and BBs like you said.

10 gauge with T shot. That's what I want. I would want a gun that's at least 9.5 lbs If I were to shoot over 1.5 oz loads on a regular basis. For me 3.5" shells are just too much muzzle jump and kick in guns under 9 lbs. Reloading is the only way to go with 10 gauge. For one the factory loading and availability suck. 2nd the hulls just cost too damn much to buy every time you fire. Someday, someday.

There is also the change in attitudes to WADS. It is becoming more obvious that in Europe lead is dead. Now the next target are plastic wads being replaced by green wads One way to make like difficult is to mandate green wads. These in general don't work with steel and other non tox as you lose on internal volume to give protection to barrels etc. So, there is an above average chance that in the future we may be using 3.5" shells but with 3" magnum loads....

A 3.5 inch gun is stronger and allows souped up 3 and 2.75 inch shells. You can load considerably over 11,500 max.

I’m shootin 20ga 3” alllllll day! Full choke. And like you when I changed back and forth i was having mixed luck. I went back to the full choke full time and I was deadly!

I use #4 Buck for snow geese when they are in our wheat fields. Literally rains geese.

I buy a case of #2s a year. That's all I use for ducks and geese. Great advice.

Great explanation! I started waterfowl hunting last season, I bought a 3.5” chambered gun not knowing what I really needed. I’ll definitely be adding a full choke and using 3” shells this year!

I just got a pattern master goose for my benelli because I was tired of wounding ducks. We'll see how it goes.

I am trying to figure out if I should make my first shotgun a m3500 and m3000. I would like the option for 3.5 just because why not? I live at Grizzy Island California and want to hunt pheasants, duck, and deer to start off.

Nice appetizing intro. Where my house is I see "black sun", not with starlings, but with greylag geese. Tasty sight.
