jamming semi autos

[WSU]

I have a stoeger 2000 that I've shot for a couple seasons.  It has cases of shells through it, is often dirty, and has worked perfectly.

It not missing pieces I'll show a pic. It looks a bit worse in person.
I have the 2000 too and the 3500 they are awesome

It still sits how it's supposed to but something ain't right.

And I'm not pleased with mossbergs customer service right now. I've sent several emails and have got no response.

For waterfowl I shoot Beretta's and Baikal's the latter for my saltwater gun. The only non cycle I've had was with the Baikal using the Remington Hypersonic it sheared the tabs that retain the magazine spring. Simple fix 1/2 piece of wine bottle cork between the retainer cap and plug cap you are ready to go. And then I also shoot a Remington SP10 for teal and snipe  and geese. All have good and bad points just get one that fits and then work out the issues.

I shoot a benelli m2 and as much as i hate to admit it, it does jam once in a while. Usually when I dont clean it enough, or when i get it too wet and it is cold outside.

I won't shoot the hypersonic loads after they fused a choke in a barrel of one of my past shotguns

I shoot a Benelli SBEII.  I have experienced jams over it's life time.  It will eventually happen.  Some can be blamed on the gun, some on shells. Some on me not cleaning it.  I have notice some shells can really gum up or cause issues with auto loaders.  Every auto loader says their stuff will cycle everything on the market.  Great sales pitch.

The RIO steel shot, just dirties the crap out of auto loaders.  3-1/2" shells and hypersonic shells just beat on auto loaders, so eventually something will break, given enough shells through the gun.

Just know that it will jam at some point and you clear the gun and keep on going.  Hopefully you have lots of birds working your spread, so you don't think about the one that got away.

Lube the choke tube threads with a little copper anti-seize or some gun oil.

Can't lube with anything when the choke won't come out. I always lubed my chokes before shooting but that hypersonic loads are absolutely horrible on guns. They put a lot of pressure on parts and it's a gimmic when it says they don't.

Looking to purchase a semi auto shotgun that will not jam any input would be great.

I want to see a gun that is based on hypersonic 3-1/2" rounds tested.  Many of these guns base them off the thousands of rounds of dove loads they shoot or light loads.  Heavy duck loads start splitting the competition.  Guns just start taking a beating and things break. If you only shoot a case or less per season, you may not have any issues or a few shells per hunt.  Post this question on some of the spring snow goose hunt forums.  Some of those guys can shoot a half case in a morning.
