Many years ago when I hunted with a gun I used an over & under. I liked using both. I used 000 in my modified and the old trusty slug in my regular. I also stepped up to 3" mags. I probablly shouldn't have but never had a problem. I now strickly bow hunt only because there was only 4 deer I killed with my shot gun that I wouldn't have been able to with my bow. The one thing I do miss is the ball of fire coming out of the end as I'm blasting bambi.

Good luck
