Just patterned the gunthis week and the 3 1/2" Hevi-Shot #6, 2 1/4 ounce loads were the best pattern. Now I find out those shells have been discontinued. At least that's what I was told[:@]
The only way I would ever fire a 3.5" out of my 870 would be in self defense.
I'm still searching for my right retina after a few rounds of 3" from mine, and I think I might have bleeding on my brain?. [

I fired 2 shots from 4 different type shells the other evening, 8 shots total
The Federal Mag-Shoks had the biggest kick and the worst pattern out of my gun/choke combo.
It sure got the wife's attention. She likes my bows better

She said that thing sounds dangerous[8D]
