Guys, I've killed more than 20 ducks and 20 geese this year shooting a 20. 3/4 oz federals in 2's and 4's. A 20 is plenty for decoying birds and first light pass shooting.
If a Stevens 311 can take the chamber pressure of a 2 3/4" steel load (I don't actually know if they can) just open the chokes to Imp Cyl in both barrels and go hunting.
Full choke is too tight to be effective for most shooters.
I know Nitro Specials are considered strong enough, but I remain unsure about the Stevens 311, though my friend Jerry shoots heavy shot out of one with no concern.
