go big or go home.with a beretta there is no recoil

You are absolutely right "Pattern" I agree!!! The more boom the better!!! its all about the kick off!!!The more shrapnel flying at those little buggars the better

I agree with Pattern and Killer, finally a couple of waterfowlers that have stepped out of the 70's and 80's and are using modern products to their advantage! I am a 67 year old waterfowler and this old dog could learn a few new tricks from these good ol' boys! We should get together and go hunting. (I will pm you guys)

I use both 3 and 3.5.
Right now I have a case of T's(Fedral), BBB(kent) in 3" and 1/2 case BB and 1/2 case of 2's in 3.5's (kent,1625 fps)

Hell Yah!! good enough for a plane, good enough for a duck!!!!

More lead is just compensating for poor shooting. There's no earthly need for a 3.5'' shell unless you're skybusting or a poor shot. In my humble, relatively inexperience opinion.

3.5" = guys who always shoot at high fliers (flock shooters)
3" = guys who can't quite get the birds to commit to the spread - pass shooters

2 3/4" = guys who can decoy the birds inside of 15-25 yards before shooting.

Just a matter of time till someone made that comment. More shot more horsepower= lots and lots of birds, maybe I am a poor shot but I am willing to bet I shoot more ducks than you!

I always decoy them inside of 15 yards and shoot them with 3.5" shells!!

Give me 3" "T" flying at 1450fps for the geese and 3" #2's going 1625fps for the marsh and 3" at 1625fps #4's for fields.

the size of shell means there is more shot in the air... you can skybust the EXACT same way with a 2 3/4". (a true sky buster will use a tungsten matrix or heavy shot.)

Terminal velocity ends at approx 60 yds for steel no matter if it is a 3.5" or a 2 3/4"

go to tungsten matrix now you have 90 yds of terminal velocity again in a 2 3/4" or 3.5"

I also heard Remington Nitro 3" in a #1 or BB are good for sky busting.
