Personally both are overkill unless you’re looking to send a lead slug downrange past ~175yds with accuracy. Murder on the shoulder, but then the hot rounds I have loaded in 2.75" variants are no joke either so I’m not one to complain.

thanks, so he meant to say 870 super mag then, just had me confused. Ive shot 3.5" slugs out of mine a few times, not the most fun thing to do :lol Use it as my deer gun as well, I shoot 2 3/4 regular sabots with a rifled barrel its pretty damn accurate at 70 yards.
