For years I hunted with my Browning 12ga upland special (2 3/4) over and under, mostly after grouse and woodcock.
But the last two seasons I liked my new (3 1/2) benelli super eagle so much that I've been using it for the same upland hunting, and shoot the same 2 3/4 Federal #8 game loads without compromise.
That is the other benefit of owning a 3.5" gun though..... if the shell says 12 gauge.... you can shoot it. Just because you drive a Corvette doesn't mean you need to do a burnout when the light turns green... so to speak...
