I tried them last year in a Remington 1100 20 ga with a Hastings barrel and got about 1 3/4" at 75 yards with them.  They shot pretty well but I did not get a shot at a deer so I don't know how they do on them but they were pretty accurate in my shotgun.

I finally found a rifled bbl for my old remington model 11 and I believe I will try them in that. I was able to get the m11 to shoot nice 60yrd groups with low recoil sluggers out of a chopped off full choke smooth bore bbl would like to extent that range with this new bbl and put a scope on it ...had been using cheap red dot with smooth bore.

I have used both the 2 3/4 Laser mags and the Low recoil load.  Both have shot very well out of my Mossberg 695 and my Rem 870 with a 18.5" barrel with rifled choke tube.  With the rifled barrel on the 695 I am getting under 2" at 100 for most 3 shot groups with the  2 3/4 in mags.  I am getting right at 2" 75 yard 5 shot groups with the 870 and the mags.  And at 50 yards with the low recoil in the 870 I was getting groups that you would have to look to see that it was not one slug.  The second and third shots would cut out just a little around the edges  :o.  Needless to say, I have been very happy with them.
