If you are getting a good pattern and know your effective range no trouble at all.I think some guys think just cause they shoot 3-to-3-1/2 's they can take a turkey over 50yds wheres the fun at least in my opinion 40 and under or closer You'll find 2-3/4 shells a whole lot cheaper I had good luck with winchester double xx mags when I shot 2-3/4 in 6 shot
