10g guns for bird hunting is way overkill regardless of if thats what its "designed to do" . I have used both 3.5" and 3" loads a lot goose hunting and the 3.5" packs more kick with out looking like an a$$hole trying to flock geese at way too long of range.



Dude,you don't even make any sense. A 10ga shooting 1 3/4oz of shot is "way overkill" but a 3.5" 12ga shooting 1 9/16 oz isn't?

It really doesn't matter though. A 3" chambered 12ga with todays non-toxic loads will do 99.9% of what any duck or goose hunter needs to do.
