I dont understand how anyone thinks a 3.5" shell will reach farther out that a 3" shell.

If a 3.5" shells payloadleaves the barrel at 1560 fps and a 3" shells payloadleaves the barrel at 1560 fps. How does that make it anymore effective at a longer distance? Only thing it does is provide more pellets in a payload providing a denser pattern at any given range.. skybusters are skybusters no matter if they are shooting 2.75", 3" or 3.5".
