Shot the 3 inch with 1 7/8 oz load and the 3 1/2 in 2 oz load Long Beards out of my SX3, it has a 26 inch barrel and shooting a Pure Gold 670 choke. I have the Burris fast fire 3 on it and the 3 inch shells shot to the right about 2 inches.The 3 1/2 inch gave me a really nice even pattern and looks like it will do the job out to 40 yds. first 2 pictures are at 30 yds and last 2 at 40 yds.

That 3 1/2"is a nice hunting pattern there chief.
Neither are bad by any means. That 3-1/2" pattern is very nice.
Great patterns. Dead bird with any of those shots for sure. I have an SX2 with the same barrel length and newly acquired choke. I need to get to the range soon to do the same. Best regards.
