I don't see why your set-up won't be just fine. There are no telling how many turkeys that have succombed to a 2¾" 12ga loads. Would you stand and let someone shoot at you with the 2¾"? I don't think so.

Just pattern so you know your effective range well and all should be fine. Good advice from all above.

Oh, if your wife won't let you pay big bucks for a new pump or autoloader, see if she'll go ~$80 at Wal-Mart for a NEF single shot 3½" magnum.

I have a old Winchester 30 in. barrel full choke and found that Winchester #4 worked best. Try patterning it with 4-5-6-shot and see which works best. John

Try 4's or 5's. It's an auto. Load it full!

YATES: Before you go out and buy anything, first try patterning with the loads you already have. When I started out, I used Federal's 2 3/4, 1 1/4 4's and had great success. I agree with everyone else by tring different loads and shot sizes because every gun will shoot the same load different
