Benelli maikes a shotgun that only holds two shells in the tube.

Shorting the tube was one of the ways that they cut weight on this line of guns.

I have a Beretta xtrema 2 with a Nordic components magazine extension that allows me 10rds in the gun. You should see the length of the dowel rod I had to cut to limit it to two rounds in the tube! haha!
Like "oklahomabassin" said above, you need to take baby steps to make sure that your "plug" is long enough to limit you to two 2 3/4" shells but also short enough to limit you to two 3" shells and or 3.5" shells if your gun accepts them.

Back when I was still able to bird hunt, I just left the plug in year round. Never seemed to need more than 3 shots at quail, and two for sheet, trap, etc.
I cut an old broken arrow down to length for my mossberg 500. Works great.
I think having 3 shells is a good idea. Most often I only shot 2 shots. I believe once you start getting past 2 or 3 shots you are just wounding the animal. I believe by shooting less shots you will probably be more accurate as well since you know you have just 2 or 3 chances. And a lot of times I personally shoot better when I have issues with my gun and it only lets me shoot one at a time.
More than three can come in handy when pheasant hunting. you don't shoot three at one bird, but when a bunch get up around you, sometimes that 4th or 5th shell gets you a bird.
also when blocking, sometimes 4 or 5 shells come handy.

I started with a single shot from 11 yrs old until almost 30 yrs old. Took a lot of game with that gun. Finally got where I could afford a pump gun.
