I purchased an SBEII Wednesday and fired my first 100 rounds out of it this morning without a single misfeed or any other anomoly. I fired 75 rounds of Remington 27 Nitro (1 1/8oz HDCP) and 25 rounds of Federal target loads (1 1/8oz 3 dram). Per the Benelli specs (available under the FAQ) the SBEII should function reliably with at least 1 1/8oz 3 dram shells. This statement is holding true for me! I love this fire-stick!!
