One thought is to try 3" shells first and then decide on the 3.5" shells. Be sure of the POA/POI from top and bottom barrel regardless. It can be critical at 30 vs. 40 yards,but usually not a miss necessarily. I have an O/U 3" 12 and a SXS 20 gauge and recoil difference is huge. and extra weight is noticeable in the 12 ga.

 Hunted allot with over and under. Browning Citori full/ mod. Killed allot of turkey's with 3 in 5's. Gun would shoot 4's and 6's as well but the 5's seemed to be the best compromise. 35 yds and under it was a killer. Have a 3 inch 20 o/u. Shoots amazing patterns at 30yds with factory chokes and Pb 5's. 20guage shoots good with Pure Gold 555,570.
