CHW2021, well put, thanks!

XP100, you bring me to another question, ammo. The model 66 has a 3" chamber. I assume that means it's suitable for 3" or anything less than that. Correct me if I'm wrong on that, but just so I'll know, why am I using 2 3/4 shells rather than 2 1/2 or 3?
Shotguns are obviously not my strong.
Oh, one more while we're on that toppic... In order to shoot slugs, do you "not" use a choked barrel? What is the criteria for shooting slugs?
Most of my collection is full choke except the Ithaca 37 has the barrel chopped to 21" which eleminates the choke.
