[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 2042155, member: 1546"] Unless lucky on the first try, you will have to start long and trim until you find the correct length needed to "plug" magazine capacity to only 2, 2.75" shells. I would likely assume the rule is to help lessen the risk of a far shot just wounding birds allowing them to fly off and die later. Most dove hunters with a few years experience realize that if you haven't hit a dove by 2nd shot know the 3rd isn't going to help and any more than that is just wasting shells. Ducks and geese, the bigger your pattern, the more likely you are to hit multiple birds. The further away from the gun, the bigger the pattern. Therefore having more shots available could cause multiple birds dropped per shot potentially causing over harvest. [/QUOTE]
