Ok here we go. I hunt pretty much everything possible here in PA except geese untill this coming year that is. I met a new buddy and he's big into it and is as excited to take me as i am to go. Well my favorite gun is an 870 3'' w/ a 26in barrel. I have and plan on using the full choke lead/steel. Now I was wondering what shells with which kind of shot you all would recomend. I really would like to stay away from steel shot as I hear it can be rough on the barrel. So any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
