Out of my 870 smoothbore I stayed within 50-60 yards, and I've had consistent deer hunting success with the 2.75" Remington Sluggers.
Last year I bought a 12-ga. Ultra Slug Hunter, however, and was reaching out to 100 yards fairly accurately with Lightfields, though I haven't hunted with it yet. I'll want to try different slug brands/loads and become more proficient with it before trying it on deer this winter.
