If you learn to shoot, you should never need more than 2 3/4" in a 12...

If you place the pattern properly, a 2-3/4" shell will do the job, but many people throw more shot to try and compensate for not being able to place the pattern properly. Several trips to the trap and skeet range before hunting season, will usually be of far more benefit than throwing more shot at the birds.Catnthehat and I have a friend in common that hunts upland birds with a 12 gauge with 3" magnum loads, and he fires more shots for less birds than either of us do with our 20 or 28 gauge shotguns.
