All my remmington 1100 problems resulted from reloads!! This was years ago. I sold the gun which as we might expect I regret now especially now that the gun shop I frequented jumped their prices across the board by a hundred smackeroos...my experience has been the 1100 was ideal for a crow buster!
The 11-87 with the set of rings for high brass and low brass separately is an interesting concept to be sure. Anyways it is a blast(no pun intended) to shoot. Surprising is reading that BobA.s' Beretta was malfunctioning given the price of these shotguns.
Surprising too is that the legendary Browning A-5 wasn't a great crow buster in the sense it ate only high brass shot shells!?? Now I am not exactly sure what was that particular problem with that gun. All I know is 99% of the shotgunners I might meet preferred the 870 variations. I like reading that and seeing that. I also never ask to touch another mans' shot gun or rifle. I figure if I don't own it idea...it's a quirk I guess...something to do with I hate to let go of my own gun. Weird I guess? I even carry my gun to go retrieve dead crows even after the shoot is over...

I have put 15,000 rounds, mostly reloads, through a trap model 1100 I bought used in the 1980's. If I keep it clean and be sure the rubber o-ring is good it seldom fails me. In my experience if a Remington 1100 is not working well with reloads the problem is the person reloading the shells not the shells themselves. I have three 1100's and they have all worked fine with my reloads. They are a truly great gun, easy to shoot, soft recoil, can almost always be fixed at home if they break and parts can be found easily.
