Everything I've read by them sounds like a bunch of engineers talking in theory rather than from actual experience. I've tried to use 3 1/2" shells in my shotguns but none of them shot consistantly. The 2 3/4" shells shot great, so that's what I've always stuck with. That goes for slugs and buckshot. I haven't had much experience with fully rifled slug barrels though, I've always used smooth bore.
So you had better luck with 2-3/4" shells rather than 3-1/2"?? Interesting.
That's with the shotguns I've had experience with, other people have told me they get better groups and tighter patterns with the 3-1/2" shells, but I've never seen that with my personal guns (Mossberg 500, Remington 870,and NEF).
