Default RE: Recommended Slugs for an 11-87?

its hard to give you any advice on the topic but heres one corner to immediately cut if the gun has a 3 inch chamber dont even bother messing with 2 3/4 inch loads.

I couldn't agree with that comment any more. I wasted a lot of money trying to find a good 2 3/4" load for my gun. Just couldn't find a one that would group at all. Tried several 3" loads, and they all shot twice as good as the shorter ones. And at $2-$3 a pop, it is a mistake that is easily avoided.LOL

If your shots are no more than 125 yards, try the lightfields. They shoot the best out of my gun, and my wifes 1100. But if you are looking for a little more range, these will not be your cup of tea. I would try the Winchester Gold, and the Hornady 3/4oz Barnes first. Along with the SST from Federal if you can find them. Good luck
