The 3-inch shells normally used by people in 20 ga. guns (mostly for waterfowl hunting) are some of the worst patterning loads commercially available. Unless shooting an autoloader, the recoil of a 3-inch 20 used in the standard weight spectrum of fixed-breech upland guns (e.g., 5 1/2-6 1/2 lbs.) will REALLY get your attention! There are so many truly superior 2 1/2- and 2 3/4 inch shells on the market (RST, B&P, Gamebore, Fiocchi) I can't imagine why anyone would go to a 3-inch gun in a 20 unless for a truly dedicated purpose like turkey (live or card) shooting.
