Update: If I press the cocked indicator button the new shell shoots on to the carrier w/o a hitch. So I think the carrier is trying to go up before the liveshell is completely out of the magazine. Is this something that will have to back to benelli, get better with shooting, or be fixed with a different shell? I have not tried a shorter shell yet.

I shot my new SBE2 today for the first time. I was shooting kent 1 1/4oz@ 1625fps BB's and 2's. I installed a sure cycle magizine kit before shooting as I figure stainless steel is more rust resistant than carbon steel. I would put 2 shells in and a third of the time the second shell would get stuck about 1/4 of an inch from coming all the way out of the magizine. So I change the follower back to the factory and same prob. I change out the mag spring back to factory and same prob but they would get stuck about 3/4 to 1 inch in the magizine. Before I shot it I completly disassembled, cleaned and lightly oiled the bolt and magizine but did not touch the assembly inside the recoil pad. I put 50 shells through it today. any ideas what the problem could be? I also made sure barrel was tight against the reciever. thanks mike
