I had a 3" 20-gauge Repro but never fired 3" shells in it... I learned my lesson long ago with my 20-gauge Ruger Red Label. I tried shooting a couple of boxes of 3" Federals with that gun at trap and disliked the recoil intensely. I was a much younger man then too, and much better able to withstand physical abuse but swore I'd never shoot 3" twenties again.
I took a 2nd place trophy for the season at my trap club with that Ruger (everybody else shot 12's) but with 2 3/4" shells, not 3". When I shot those 3-inchers my scores were terrible and not because of the recoil I don't believe... they simply pattern poorly.
