got it the other day from cabellas but it didnt come with any information with it.
What size shells will a 1986 remington 1100 magnum shoot?
Look on the left side of the barrel just below the rear sites. My 1100 has the shell size stamped in the barrel.
Reply:The Rem 1100 comes in several guages,i.e. .410, 32 ga, 28 ga, 20 ga, 16 ga %26amp; 12 ga. This info will be on the bbl. Since it has the designation "Magnum" it will be capable of cycling either the 2 3/4" or 3" magnum. I don't believe the Rem 1100 of 1986 was available in 3 1/2 Mag. I own a Rem 1187 at the present.
Reply:depends on the barrel
Reply:Read on the side of the barrel. It will tell you what it is chambered for.
Reply:The magnum was designed to shoot 3 inch shells,however,beware!!.
The barrels can be changed so you need to check on the barrel to see if it is chambered for 2 3/4 or 3 inch shells. You can shoot either in a 3 inch,but,only 2 3/4 in the 2 3/4 inch chambered barrel. The 1100 is a great shotgun-enjoy!
Reply:That's why you ask the guy in the gun dept. "what size shell does this shotgun take?" before you purchase the weapon.
HS, I hope you don't live/hunt near me.
Reply:Read the side of the barrel. If it says 12 gauge - 2 and 3/4 inch then buy 12 gauge 2 and 3/4 inch shells. If it says 12 gauge - 3 inch shells then you can buy either.
I would check and see if the gun has a choke installed as well. If it does, you might possibly have trouble shooting slugs out of it.

I now own my Fathers 1967 Remington 1100 chambered for 3 inch magnum and has full choke. I have deer hunted with it for the last 8 years with 3 inch magnum saboted slugs. It shoot a little high with the slugs but other than that , no problem.
