This is a little off the subject but were you able to shoot 1oz. loads prior to making any modifications? The reason I ask is that I purchased an SBE1 (not 2) last year and it has never reliably shot even 1 1/8oz loads, I have to shoot 1 1/4oz in order for it to reliably cycle every time. The person at the gun shop I purchased it from told me that it would take about 100 rounds before the gun shot "optimally" (whatever that means). I have far exceeded 100 rounds and still it requires 1 1/4oz to cycle properly. Does this seem correct to you? Thanks, Dan.
