In a word.YES...A three inch shotgun shell is always considered a "MAGNUM".Just be really sure that 3" Magnum is marked on the barrel.If in doubt take it to a GOOD gunsmith.

If it is a modern shotgun, and factory barrel marked 2 3/4 & 3" you can shoot any shell that is marked 3"
No problem

Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.

With regard to the slugs, you will want to make sure the choke is open enough for a slug.

the description of MAGNUM in shotguns generaly refers to the shot charge. Magnum loads tend to be a larger payload of shot. For a 3" shell that could mean a 1 1/4 OZ shot load opposed to a 1 1/8 OZ standard shot load.
