My opinion, based on experience suggests 100 yards for many smooth bore or rifled bore shotguns with a variety of ammo. But also, you can get 200 yard performance if you do your homework and if you need that particular extra range. As an example, a single shot NEF or H&R 20 gauge is quite capable to 100 yards with the right ammo. Certain types of ammo may not go to 100 yards, but many will. In my case a Savage brand bolt action shotgun with Hornady SST gives me the 200 yard results I'm looking for.
