I've got one that I've tried in a 1100 and a 870(both 21 in bbls) and didn't do well in either gun.

Tried both Hevi13 7's and Fed H/W 7's thru it.

I've got one and shot it in mine a couple of years ago. The only serious patterning I did with it was with Nitro's, and it did pretty well. Not the high numbers that some folks were showing with the tighter constrictions and the Nitros, but a nice evenly distributed pattern with some wiggle room, which was what I was looking for. I'd have to look at my notes, but I think it averaged around 180 in a 10" circle at 40 yards with the Nitro Straight 7's.

My 21" 870 didn't like it either. I tried both loads you mentioned along with some Magblends.

The Jelly-Head was not real good in mine or my brothers 20, both 21 inch barrels.
