If you cant use hevi shot the winchester high velocity loads are good lead loads.

3" shells will be fine. Like already stated the Winchester lead shot shoots outstanding out of my supermag with an IC choke. Congrats on a great gun.

Nice gun..wish they'd run it in a 23" tapped version.. Try some 3" 2 oz hevi 13 6's or 7's. You will have more than enough.
