You could probably use 3 inch magnums depending upon chambers and proofing 

however 

it’s pattern that kills not the biggest loads 

find a commonly available cartridge in your area and pattern test in your gun 

would be my advice 

remembering game shooting soon is early season and most birds will not be extreme 

Agreed get a variety of cartridges and patten test at 25 or 30m. All you need is a large pallet and lining paper or large cardboard boxes.

Picked up a 6 1/4 lb 20 bore S x S with 30" last year which, I think is similar in weight to a Silver Pigeon.

I have been using  Hull Extreme and L/Vale Supreme both 28g 5's, on game and found the recoil to be very mild and very effective at the business end.
