Rock-jock - You outta read up on the ballistics of ROUND shot. The faster you send it out the barrel, the quicker the laws of physics acts on it. You have no range advantage in a 12 ga 3-1/2 or even a 10 ga. UNLESS your throwing bigger shot, which you can do with the larger 3 1/2 chamber. But it gets back to skill. I stand by my argument that most hunters can't hit [color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color] beyond 30 or 40 yards. Bismuth and tungsten manufacturers are cashing in on the shooting inability of most duck hunters who believe all the steel shot myths. Better to spend your money on shooting practice and buying and learning how to use decoys and calls. Much more rewarding then blasting dollar bills into the sky.
Ron - You're right about shot size for geese. I like BB, and F is illegal in Alaska because of high crippling loss rate.
