Hey buddy do u got a older 1100 or a newer one. Mine is older it was made I'd say early 90s. And I shoot the rem regular slugs out of it the cheap ones and it will group 3 inches at 80 yards and I guess dinner plate size at 100 past that I can't get food groups but its a deadly deer drive gun.

Best I could get it to do was 8 inches at 50 yards using the Remington rifled sluggers...

I bought an 870 with a slug barrel because of that.

It is my opinion, and others may have different experiences, that smooth bore guns with rifled slugs are not good anywhere past 50 yards for an "ethical kill shot"..

Anytime I track a deer more than 50 yards, I get a sinking guilty feeling because I didn't kill it quickly enough.
