When you Beretta owners first bought your a400 did you have cycling issues with light loads? I just picked up an a400 in optifade and took it to the range over the weekend for the breakin. After a good cleaning of the packing grease I started out shooting some Winchester 2 3/4" 1 1/8oz loads. I shot 2 boxes and had maybe 3 non cycles. The bolt would would eject the first round but wouldn't pickup the second. the bolt would be shut with a round waiting. I then (because it was all I had at the time) shot 3 boxes of rio 1oz 2 3/4" rounds and had probably 7-8 non cycles just like the Winchesters.
Finally after chatting with the Beretta dealer I bough 4 boxes of rio 2 3/4" 1 1/4oz high brass loads. Shot all four boxes and didn't have a single misfire but I wouldn't expect to either.
After shooting roughly 200 rounds in about a 4 hour period my shoulder was no more sore then shooting a box or two of 20 gauge dove loads out of my 870 pump.
certainly easier on the shoulder then my SBEII was but I was kinda concerned about the inconsistent cycling on the light loads. Does it just need to be worked out some more?
