RE: Hate pulling the trigger
After remembering what the 3" magnums did to my shoulder each year, I was more than a little leery of patterning my new Mossberg 835 Ulti mag with the 3 1/2" magnum shells.
I was pleasantly surprised though. It surely packs a punch, but they porting must be doing it's job because I put quite a few shells through there without any real problems. Never even felt it in the woods with either of my two gobblers this year!
