If you need religion to have good morals then you don't actually have good morals.
We only have available the 12 to 410s right now.
Ballistics by the inch is a great resource: http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/calibers.html
No data for shotguns but it gives you an idea of how having a barrel that is too short, or indeed too long, can dramatically affect velocity.
How about a 12 to 20?
You can never have too much ammo, unless you are drowning, or on fire.
Why? 410 shells are super expensive.

My oldest kid has stared hunting. we have lots of 12 & 20 ga around but no 410.
He has shot a 20 and flinched a bit on the recoil. i know as he gets better form and a bigger body frame this will go away. but if put 410 in he can go for grouse now and not flinch.
I could see using this as a stepping stone to bigger gauges
The best time to buy a gun was 40 years ago, the second best time is today.
that's correct, less then 3" ammo in a 3" chamber may lose some velocity if the shotcup+wad+seal is shorter then the gap. (gap = shotshell expanded length - chamber length)
but, in 410, the shortest shotcup easily covers the gap. My reloads take that into account too.
whereas with the inserts, after 2" (my approximation of the shown inserts) there's only "gap". Gases blow by while the shot ....
do you want to pattern some loads with me? in the bush?
Interesting stuff, will full length inserts become available?
