Just my opinion, but I like the 3 20 gauge shell and Ive got a Red Label that patterns them really well. Ive killed a pile of birds with that combo. Im not a fan of the 3.5 12 gauge. I shoot a fair number of big geese every year and do not feel undergunned with a quality 3 shell. Plus the recoil of the 3.5 shells is more than I like. Ive tried them but dont shoot them anymore.
