Default Poll: Shell and shot size.

Guess I don't know how to set up a Poll, so I'll just ask.

What's your favorite shotgun shell and shot size?

I shoot Remington 12 guage Duplex loads. 3" in the 6X4 size.

I have shot a lot of different 5's and 6's over the last several years, but I would have to say that my favorite as of this season is:

Winchester Extended Range 3.5" #5's.
