It's true that you will get more "short shells" in a gun but if you multiply the number of shells by the number of shot in "short" shells in your gun and the number of shells by the number of shot in "regular" shells in your gun which one puts the highest number of lead balls in the air. If I remember correctly my gun holds 1 less 3 in. shell than 2 3/4 but the total number of balls is more with the 3 in. Plus 1 less shot is faster and my reason for a shotgun is too put lead in the air in a hurry. Larry
