poontang Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Sorry, Get a semi your shoulder and cheek will thank you when your stuffing 3.5 up the barrel. I've never had a problem with shoulder or cheek when using 3 1/2" steel shells through my Browning Waterfowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughshooter Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I was wondering if that's were he meant. Almost mid Wales , great Sea Trout water! Must be a pig of a drive At least everyone knows where I meant - all down to pronounciation - I apologise for being English and taking money to Wales! I did take the auto and it got soaking wet and covered in Mud - so my vote is for the auto when weather is naff and an over under when it is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakin stevens Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Can these be bought in normal, non camo finish? I had one in wood some years ago with 3. 5 inch chambers, just got another last week nearly new in camo for a good price as well, much better in camo for the muddy shores I shoot.

BellySlater Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I was wondering if that's were he meant. Almost mid Wales , great Sea Trout water!

roughshooter Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) True but I have lots of 3" ITM, Bismuth and Hevishot! And if all else fails then I have a 3 1/2" Auto Edited October 21, 2013 by roughshooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Not got the 3 1/2 chamber then though! I am really finding little advantage over the 3" for the recoil price paid, shot size and speed being equal that is. Find myself not bothering taking 3 1/2" shells out more and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughshooter Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 3 1/2" is only really need for BB (or above) steel when pellet count gets low. I load 37g of steel in a 3" and 39g in a 3 1/2" which is very little between them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I load 37g of steel in a 3" and 39g in a 3 1/2" which is very little between them 2 grams to be precise and that's not a lot of big pellets, depends what speeds you can get and how the individual gun patterns though. Like I say I no longer see much point viewed against the downsides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double four Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I am really finding little advantage over the 3" for the recoil price paid, shot size and speed being equal that is. Find myself not bothering taking 3 1/2" shells out more and more I agree with that I have a Berretta a400 extreme which I bought recently that handles 3.5 " very well for recoil but I cant see me keeping it my old 1970s Winchester waterfowl shoots fast 36g steel 1's brilliantly (patterns as good if not better) than the a400 with the 1's and it goes through the factory full chokes with no adverse affects so they never comes out of the gun. I can switch to 1 7/8th itm 4.0mm instantly for anything rangey but to be honest the 4.0mm steel does the business and is used for both ducks and geese I have used this combination for a few years now with good results the gun is a 32" waterfowl and weighs well over 8lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 4 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Last winter I switched to an over and under for my fowling from an SBE2, because when I shoot fowl and game every time I switched from the auto to o/u my cartridge to kills would drop for a couple of flights, so I bought a 3" beretta OU had the stock matched to my game gun, had an Isis recoil reducer then the gun dipped by HydroGraphics, my cartridge to kills went up and I never suffered the performance drop when I switched to my game gun, if I go for geese I use homeloaded 42gm hevishot 2's if there more than 35 yards if not it's steel 1's, for duck I use steel 3's and never feel under gunned. I've not missed the 3rd shot as I generally only used it as a cripple stopper. The HydroGraphics dip has lasted well, following advice I had the rubber type coating added and it was £20 well spent, with the Isis reducer I don't notice increased recoil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
