It's all personal choice,Patrick. As for pheasants,3" mags are kinda overkill, IME. One favorite load for using over a close working dog is the 2 3/4" AA TRAP Load, a measly 1 1/8 oz,7 1/2 shot 3 dram load that tends to fold them up nicely.
Pop dropped lots of Ringnecks with the 20 ga SKB that was his shotgun of choice in his later years, and 7/8 oz loads of 7 1/2s.
For longer shots, a 1 1/4oz load of 6s or 5s does it well.

BTW, does that Mossy have Pistol Grips(G)?
