I had problems with remington shells in the past swelling and the extractor wouldnt pull them out the chamber. I got to be pretty quick with that buck tool to pull em out. Ended up swithching to a benelli, solved that problem quick and in a hurry. Did try some federal shells later in the jamming gun, and never had a problem with it after

My SBE was new in 1991 and had the same problem. There are two reasons in my mind they will jam out of the box; bad shells or debri and tight tolerances. I was shooting Drylocks in a single shot $1,000 gun until I started looking at the shells at home. I stood each shell in a new box next to one another on my bar, all 25. My gun was jamming because no two shells were the same length or seated in the brass straight.
Now I jam some but it is because my follower spring in the butt is worn out and doesn't push the shell fast enough sometimes. The guns today are all good, it just depends on what you are looking to pay.

I had that spring replaced and the gun hasn't missed a beat.

Couldn't stand it. Bought one yesterday. Fired a few rounds and I like it. I'll let ya'll know in 15 years if it performs as well as my Benelli has.

it is very light and well balanced with little recoil. My 5 year old daughter shot it with a 1 oz dove load turned around smiling and said she wanted to try the big shells. LMAO.
