2 3/4 or bigger

I was wiping off the shotgun and started to wonder how many of you still shoot 2 3/4? Everyone I know has gone to 3".

Since my Wingmaster only takes 2 3/4 inch shells I shoot them about 99% of the time.

The only reason I buy 3" steel loads is that it is easy to tell if I have any lead shells around, any 2 3/4" automatically triggers an inspection when I'm hunting.  With my 2 1/2" 12 and 16 ga. hand loads lead goes in red hulls, soft non-toxics in blue or black
After the first shot the rest are just noise.
