I have used 3" shells in a 20 gauge. I don't really see them as a big deal one way or the other. I don't really care for a 20 on pheasants but killed the last two or three of the season with a 20 because I had run out of 12s. I use #5s in lead or bismuth as conditions allow. Bi 5s are really deadly on pheasants in my experience.
