Slugs in other than 2 3/4 shells ?

My son is looking to use the older style 'rifled slugs' to shoot from his 12ga Rem 870 Magnum. His second barrel is a mag-chambered barrel, 22" w/cyl bore.
Being a young buck, more is better. He asked me if slugs were only loaded in the 2 3/4" shells and not the 3".
Not being a slug-gunner I had never noticed other than 2 3/4, and had no answer, so I've posted the question.

Seen deer killed with 3's and 2 3/4 no real difference in the long run of things.

I don't know if I am an expert, but I've shot a lot of slugs through a lot of guns.
Another point is his gun may shoot terible with one brand or type of slug and great with another, so find what works.
good luck........Scout
I'LL PASS ALL THIS ON.....YOUR WORDS NOT MINE.
I'm just an old man...you know how it goes (most like we wuz).
I've got two fine boys to carry me if I need 'em.
