Default RE: smoothbore slug range for whitetails

I bought a Remington 1100 back about 1976...This is a 2 3/4 inch gun with the 22 inch improved barrel and rifle sights...With the Remington sluggers it shot very well at 50...last time I shot it at a target...I had 2 touching at 50 yards, I'm 2 inches high there...At 100, I get about a 4 inch group....This used to be my main deer gun when I was younger In eastern NC they dog hunt alot, so I would go to one of our farms and sit in a likely spot in the morning...Killed a bunch of deer with that gun...I would load the first round with a slug and then 4...#1 buckshot (it preferred Winchester)...If I didn't kill a deer early and the dog hunters ran their dogs through I was ready for either a running shot, or a standing shot...

I also used this gun for dove, quail and jumping rabbits, out to 35 yards it was very effective with smaller shot as well...
