1. Typically the match director will limit the size of shot based upon the targets involved. For the ones I've shot, the steel knockdown targets limit you to #6 bird or smaller. Anything more causes excessive splashback.
2. Can you get the TacStar speedloaders for your Mossberg? The fastest shotgun reloads I've seen at 3 gun matches are with those speedloaders -- you just latch them onto the bottom of your gun, push the slider and voila you have 5 rounds instantly loaded into your mag tube. I don't know if they make them for the Mossy, but I do know they make ones that fit the Benelli shotgun.
FWIW, I use a Blackhawk 12 shell duty pouch on my belt.
3. I have found that having three 30 round mags is more than enough. The highest min round count stage I've encountered is 48 rounds -- so two 30 round mags would have been fine, with the third as "backup". I use a Blackhawk mag pouch which works well -- but if you really want a nice mag pouch, check out BH's Talon Flex M16 mag pouch. That's really fast and has good retention on top of that.
4. Not sure.
HTH,
Justin
