Poll: Shell and shot size.
 
Guess I don't know how to set up a Poll, so I'll just ask.

What's your favorite shotgun shell and shot size?

I shoot Remington 12 guage Duplex loads. 3" in the 6X4 size.:D

I have shot a lot of different 5's and 6's over the last several years, but I would have to say that my favorite as of this season is:

Winchester Extended Range 3.5" #5's.

I've said it before and I'll say it again---

Federal 3 1/2" #5 Flite Control Mag Shok Heavyweight

Those puppies "no-flop" 'em real good. Best I've ever seen, and I've shot most of 'em--Rem HeviShot, Nitro, Winchester, Federal Premiums. All good, but the Heavyweight Flite Control works best for me!!
