I like the #4, 2 3/4" buckshot loads, and the high brass game loads in #6 and #4 shot. I prefer the 2 3/4" shells because you have higher capacity and less recoil. 3" full power shells are punishing out of the SW.I realize that it is rude to answer your question with a question. What do you wish to do with it?
Having fun: Probably the best load is whatever can be bought cheapest in the mostest. If recoil is your quest...⅞oz slugs or #4 Buck for maximum ride.
Long distance:
Flitecontrol #1 Buck or 9 pellet 00 Buck loads. Hands down unless you want a slug.
Buck shot:
For me it's a #1 load of 16 or 24 pellets.
Most versatility:
Herters Ultimate Defense .650 ball with six #1 Buck pellets.
I hope that helps. Please feel free to expound upon your question.
Thank you, I appreciate that!It appears that you have already found the heaviest recoiling buckshot load in 2¾.
The 3" aren't bad except in the #4 Buck and there is a way to get up to 5 of them in the gun without loss of capacity by removing the magazine spring retainer.
The real deal is weight increase going from 2¾" to a 3" load out. It's a noticeable difference to me. I favor the 3" #1 and 000 over the other shells but I was attempting to answer your question within the specific parameters.
