Dove, pheasant, small game, lot's of them evil flying clays. I use mostly my Ruger Red Label, but once in a while I'll get the 1100 or 870 out to hunt with. They all shoot very well and are light. I have a friend that has since quit hunting, but used one for decoying geese and ducks with bismuth handloads. Inside of 40 yards he rarely missed. It was also a Ruger.
