LIGHTFIELD MAKES A 3-1/2" SLUG, BUT ITS LOADED TO BE THE SAME AS A 3". ON THE LIGHTFIELD WEB SITE IT TELLS YOU WHY YOU SHOULD USE A 3-1/2" SHELL WHEN USING A SHOTGUN CHAMBERED FOR SHELLS UP TO 3-1/2"

Full power 3 1/2" slugs CAN NOT be a joy to shoot!

On the bench, my Winchester 2 3/4's Partition Gold slugs pack enough whollop on my shoulder for my personal taste. - but you cant even feel it in the tree.
On the bench, I'd rather shoot my dad's Browning A-bolt with the 3" slugs any day compared to my 2 3/4'ths Partition Golds. Out in the woods, hand my the Partition Golds any day

RE: 3 1/2 inch mag slugs
3 1/2 inch mag slugs ,for deer ?I hope not.Wouldnt it be kinda overkill?I killed alot of deer ranging from 70lbs to 180lbs in the past couple of yrs using 2 3/4 Lightfields.It is unimagionable the damage that shell can do.Three shots from a 3 1/2 mag,BANG-BANG-BANG-- your facing the other way.OUTCH!Remember, how wide is a deers body,18-20 inches?[You could kill a deer with a 22 if you hitem right. ]Just aim for the shoulder and break bone,he wont go too far,trust me,1 1/40z of lead from a 2 3/4 shell,I think is plenty.3 inch is ok,but 3 1/2-Mag,WOW!!!Just my opinion,not trying to offend anybody.If your planning to hunt large bear or moose with it ,go for it ,and good luck!!! p.s.I also shot Winch. Gold,1 box and I bruised like a peach!!sissy,huh?

Every article I've ever read that tested multiple types of slugs through various guns always said the 2 3/4 shot better in every case. No need for any more. I agree with beaglefreak...A 22 will kill 'em if you have the right shot placement.

It would hurt less to have Mike Tyson punch you in the shoulder than shooting a 3 1/2 slug!
I just sighted in my Ithica deerslayer with Winchester platinums 2 3/4's. Took a doe that same afternoon at 75yds...I use to shoot the old BRI 3 inch sabots and smacked me pretty hard but were not too accurate.
