The price of 3 1/2” ammo is not worth it. It’s like the big magnum caliber for big game hunting. I would much sooner hunt with a guy who shoots an old .270 that he has used for years and that he can shoot very well, than someone with a big bore rifle that makes them nervous to shoot. I shoot all the time beside guys with 3 1/2” shells, and over decoys they don’t have any advantage over my 2 3/4” loads. This is the voice of experiance talking.

Agreed....again,I’d say the 3.5 was a kinda novel idea back in the early days of steel,but kinda obsolete now with the advances in non-toxic loads of today.
