Pattern density will fail long before penetration fails.  If you can restrict shots to 25 yards, #7.5 should be more than enough in a 3" shell.  To get 30 yards and up to 40,  for best results, a hand load of tungsten 9's, 18 g/cc.  Even with the tungsten 9s, you'll want about 100 minimum in the 10" circle at 40 yards.
