It was so funny for my youngest brother. He was a little nervous about the kick of the gun so I put a regular 2 3/4 inch dove load in when we target practiced. When we went hunting that morning, I dropped in the 3'' turkey load. The bird came in , he squeezed the trigger. Boom! Dead bird. I asked him a few minutes later if he noticed anything about the shot. He said, " Nope." I laughed and pulled out the 2 3/4 hull and held it next to the 3" hull. He just laughed.
