First, geese are super tough and #2 is more then sufficient to drop them...

Just because they were 3" shells doesn't make them more powerful, what was the dram powder weight--you might have been shooting field and not magnum loads?

.75 is an Improved Modified choke and will pattern around 68% into a 30" circle at 40 yds... A 1 is considered full choke and will pattern around 70%...

You can get Xtra full 75% and Super full 80%...

If you're over decoys IM should be OK if the shells and you do your parts...

Go to any of the goose camps and you'll find BB and 2s and both work fine...

Clay shooting is superb practice for game birds but clays aren't birds and I've seen championship clay shooters miss ducks and geese and especially doves...
