Flairball 141 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I wouldn’t think a 3 1/2” would have any advantage unless you are shooting larger shot sizes, in which case you’ll just get more pellets in your pattern. My experience has been that holds true with 2 3/4” to 3” and between gauge size. Shooting larger pellets size up for more payload. I seldom shoot geese, only with Les (thanks Les), but shoot ducks when I can, and pretty much always shoot a 20g with nothing larger than #4’s, usually #6 Bismuth. Depending on what shot size and choke you are using, a 2 3/4” shell pay actually work better. Try patterning a few. Also, don’t worry about speed too much. You will get better patterns with slower velocity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand chronographing your sportsman steel amo might change your opinion. I am guessing 1400 to 1450 fps 1550 is going to put typical 3.5 inch steel loads over pressure. I do not like agreeing with Les he is an inland goose shooter( crop protector or opatunist call it what you will) ) he is masquerading as a Wildfowler on a wildfowling forum, but there is a big difference .

I have been using stock i bought a while ago although i did manage to buy a couple of hundred of someone who packed up recently. The people who import remington aren't bringing them in now which is a great pity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redfish77 0 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Cheers Ian Thanks for the reply, that's a shame I thought they were a really good load and would love to pick up some more. Be nice to have a few more options when it comes to the bigger steel cartridges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
