Mossberg 500 also. I have 24" turkey special. Need the light weight for the style hunting I do. Shoot enough skeet and trap and follow through comes naturally. Biggest deal was getting gun broken in enough to cycle smoothly. Finally this year after four years and probably 3000 rounds, and constantly cycling while at home.

I would rather shoot 2 3/4" loaded with "Hevi-Shot" than 3 1/2" with steel. My normal duck loads are 3" hevi #4. If I can't find those, I'll shoot same in steel but plan on two shots per bird minimum. I've had too many ducks crawl away before I can get to them, and be lost, and I run to the bird as soon as I see it falling. Oh, and improved cylinder works best for me. I'm an old grouse hunter, so it's still tough for me to shoot at a bird even thirty yards away, but I'm practicing and getting better.
