Hi all,
Looking to make the jump into a semi auto shotgun for sporting clays and skeet shooting. Found a really nice Remington 1187 for a good price, but when I checked it out it has “special purpose magnum” on the side of the receiver. It says it’s chambered for 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells (12g). I’ve read that the “magnum” models will not reliably cycle 2 3/4 target loads, but is that only the models chambered for up to 3.5 inch shells?? I’ve google searched and on the forums and haven’t gotten a conclusive answer. Thanks in advance for any help!
