Got a friend, who's a "die hard" that is completely set that a 3.5" magnum is necessary to make long shots.
I argue with him up and down and choose 3" shells intentionally, to get him worked up.
Is the 3.5 king of good patterns and long shots?
I truely have never taken a bird past 35yds or so, so don't know the real world difference. Is there one??
