So let me provide a bit more context. I plan to load some waterfowl shells (2.75 inch) for use in a 12 gauge Parker Reproduction. Therefore, I am more concerned about clean kills of relatively large birds (mallards and Canada geese) and less concerned about my shoulder. I am also concerned about the shotgun--not so much the barrels as the stock (a nice thin straight grip). Looking for your thoughts on maximum pressure for a modern and effective waterfowl load with minimum risk to the wood.
