[QUOTE="david k., post: 5892197, member: 10555"] I remembered reading some of this years ago but I looked it up to be sure...I found this on the web: "The 3 inch Magnum 1100 was designed to function with 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch Magnum lead shells. The Magnum guns had a factory recoil pad, heavier action bar and according to some sources a heavier bolt." Later in the same article it said, "Along came steel shot and many early three inch steel shot loads would not develop enough pressure to function Magnum guns. This and the fixed full choke was not ideal for steel shot." Does that shotgun have a fixed full choke? I'm not a duck hunter...so I don't want to give advice on whether or not it would be safe with steel shot but my guess is that the shotgun would be able to shoot 2 3/4 shells provided he keeps the action clean...but its possible that it might not cycle low powered loads very well.
