At the start of the season, the only 20 gauge birdshot loads I had left in any reasonable quantity was a box of 3" Remington #4s. I've managed to bag 4 birds so far, each one behind a light mesh of twigs and brush.
The larger, heavier pellets seem to be doing a better job of getting through the brush to the birds than the #7.5s that I usually use. An added bonus is that the pellets mostly thoroughly penetrate the bird and rather than getting stuck in the meat.
