I usually use 2 3/4 for upland game birds. Thats why I purchased the Remington 870 Super Mag. You can shoot 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2 from the same gun.

with it the military and police even use them so that should tell you something right there if the military wants them

Dont let that confuse you, they could be using them because they are cheap on price and the department gets a good deal on them. For me i only use Remington shot-guns 3"
and 2and3/4. I shot 40 pheasant last year.

I use 23/4 #8's for quail and 3 inch 4's or 6's for pheasant. There is no point to use 3 inchers for quail all you get is more recoil and cost.
