Good luck.

I'll be using my shiny new Cynergy 12g Mossy Oak, (chambered for up to 3.5"). I've gone for upland a fair bit, just never shot pheasant. Is 2-3/4" the most common size load for this situation or do most go up to 3" (thinking 3.5" is way overkill)
At the moment I have IC and Mod chokes but can pick up others if more applicable.
Our group will have a dog for sure, I just don't know the fella bringing it or the experience of the pup.
Thanks a lot for your advice to the noob!
