Who makes a 2 3/4" that holds 1 7/8 oz.? Handloaded maybe? I believe they are made by Remington

I just shot The 3 inch shells at 40 yards using a modified choke. The 2 3/4 with full choke are very similar to the 3 inch with modified choke. I still managed to get 20 bbs in the head, so I think I’m good to go. My shoulders going to be hurting in the morning! Lol Thanks for all the great answers!

Only thing left to this story is the picture of the tom with a swole head. 2 3/4 worked like a charm at 15 yards this morning!

I use the same shotgun for turkeys. I’ve been using it for over 30 years and killed a lot of gobblers with it. The best combo I found was the factory XXFull choke from Mossberg, Frederal Premium 3” 2oz of copper plated bb’s which they don’t make anymore, but I have 4 boxes left lol, I’ve killed gobblers out to 45 yards with it. Not saying yours will shoot the same but just throwing it out there to think about.
I don’t trap because I want to I trap because I have to

Nice bird I shoot a mossberg 5500 auto I using 3 inch 1 5/8 oz buffered nickle plated #6 hand loads with a browning turkey choke. My mother in law uses a single shot winchester 12ga. That I load a 2 3/4 in 1 1/4 oz buffered nickle plated #6 for her. Any bird withing 35 yards is toast gun throws a really nice even pattern at 30. J
