Talked to the factory this morning. Sounds like there are a couple of mechanical possibilities: -Incorrect spring tension on the ejector -Ejector is too long Interesting point about the mount. I've never experienced the problem at the skeet field perhaps because I have ample mount and footing?? The blind is another story. Heavy jacket, contorted to make the shot, maybe the foundation isn't strong enough. I hope that's not the case but I can't rule it out. I'll be more deliberate in the mount this weekend and let you know.

When using heavier field grade loads of varying manufacturers, my left handed SBE II occasionally fails to eject the empty hull (not even a partial ejection). The hull and fresh shell both occupy the bolt area resulting in a jam. Oddly enough, this has never occurred with light target loads. Have cycled in excess of 1,000 AA's or Remington "Gun Club" target loads without a single problem. This only happens with heavier loads (of either 2 3/4" or 3"). Jam occurs in moderate air temperatures and the gun is cleaned thoroughly after each use. Anyone experience something similar and if so, any suggestions to correct? The factory has issued a RA number, but I'm loathe to send back my shotgun with weeks to go in the current season.
