I agree with you Dave. I have a couple of boxes of 3" and a couple of boxes of 3 1/2" and I've had them for years. I prefer the 2 3/4" myself.
With modern loadings, faster velocities, shot cups to keep the pellets from scrubbing themselves flat on one side (and thus flying untrue). I just can't bring myself to spend the money on the longer shells as there is too little difference to suit me.
And for deer... I prefer the .22 LR but I am only able to use it when I get invited to a permitted crop-predator shoot where the deer are destroying too much crop on some farmers fields.
And the best hunter for waterfowl and deer that I get a chance to hunt with, uses a 20 ga. for everything! He doesn't buy any meat for his family, and has plenty for guests.
