Browning Gold Problem

[M.T. Pockets]

I've seen lots of shotguns have trouble with the 3.5" loads, including Beretta's, Benelli's, Winchester SX2's. I've seen the Remington 11-87 have troubles with everything. I've never hunted with anyone using a Browning Gold, but I understand it works on the same action as the SX-2. Not a lot of troubles with any of these guns (except the 11-87 but that's another story), but once in a great while the 3.5" seems to have trouble cycling in these autos. My thoughts were the empties catch the receiver a bit during the ejection and it slows down the whole cycle and the next round fails to reach the chamber. Just a thought on it.

No autoloader is fool proof and I'm convinced that some leave the factory doomed to give their owner head aches. Overall though, they're all pretty darn good.
