13 gru 2011 · I can't imagine shooting a 3.5" for pheasants! The biggest load I've ever used in twenty years of pheasant hunting is a 12 gauge 2-3/4" 1-1/4oz shot.

As a waterfowl hunter, the question often arises as to what is better…3” or 3.5” inch waterfowl loads for 12-gauge. Although this can be a personal preference, it’s best to understand exactly what you’re getting with each before you make the decision. First, figure out if your gun can handle 3.5” inch shells.
