I've been shooting with 28" and 30" barrells on 12 gage 2 3/4" shells with full choke. Consider maximum effective range to be about 60 yards.
Am considering acquiring another 12 gage 2 3/4" with shorter barrell length of 24" or 26", what would be a realistic maximum effective range?
If I got 12 gage magnum (3") in 24 or 26" barrell, what would maximum effective range be?
Thanks.
