2 3/4", 3", or 3.5"?
Should I even bother looking at 2 3/4" 12 Ga. shotguns?

it's very rare that you even need 3" shells. 2 3/4" should be examined carefully just because that means the shells are old, but practically there's very little reason for them.
>>30391204
what are the pros of shorter shells?
bigger is better right?

Target practice for starters. I'd like to try hunting - I never got into it as a kid because dad never took me.

Eh, you can, but it won''t get you very far.
I'd recommend clays and 2 3/4" is plenty for that. But if you expect to get into turkey hunting or big game in a place where you're required to hunt with a shotgun you could go bigger.

makes no sense
2 3/4" buckshot & birdshot loads alike, are essentially the standard by which other loads are measured
for example 2 3/4" 00 buckshot loads are commonly, and very effectively, used in anti-personel roles
2 3/4 birdshot loads are exhaustively used for trap shooting and small bird hunting

also
3" slug loads are often used for hunting deer & mid sized game due to large-diameter, high- mass projectiles, which penetrate muscle and bone consistently
defensively speaking, loads of this type are also often carried by an operator IN TANDEM with common 2 3/4" buckshot loads, because the more accurate(and hard-hitting) slug loads can be used effectively at greater range than shot loads

also
many (but definitely not all) 3 1/2" loads are designed for hunting turkey
turkey are notoriously difficult to kill utilizing ammo with a small payload, which is remedied by the larger payload found in appropriate 3 1/2" ammo

many pump-action shotguns are made to feed
2 3/4" and 3" 12ga ammo
so naturally you could potentially use one gun for multiple roles/ammo types
mossberg 500 for example

I plink with 2 3/4 and turkey hunt with 3.
My buddies use 3.5 to turkey hunt.
