mostly waterfowl but also a bit of everything, but like i said before i would also like to be able to target shoot. I've been all over other forums, and i've heard some horror stories about the SBE II not cycling light target loads, but at the same time i've heard people have no problems with it. I mean i guess it would be nice to have the 3 1/2in for waterfowl, but i dont know if its worth the price and possible aggravation of it.
