I'm going be using my 2 3/4" 1100 12ga this fall, i wanna use htl 6s all i can find is hevi shot and they are traveling at 1090fps, seems a little slow compared to some lead loads and is slower than federal hw. Any thoughts, experience?

they will kill just as far as the 3" will as long as the pattern holds together
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

The old man used them his first season a while back and was knocking down birds at some good distances.
