I agree with mudhen. If your shotgun is clean and lightly oiled it should work fine. The only shell feeding problem generally incountered is too light of load (not enough power -recoil- for the enertia system to work properly). Compare what you used last year to now. Remember to post if you fix the problem.

Just a bit more... I looked up the Cordoba, and you have to ask yourself if you need the extra shell capacity, a slot in the forearm to count shells and a ported barrel. Ported barrels do reduce muzzle jump a bit but our M2 recovers quick for a second followup shot. I think for Trap, skeet, and some game birds the M2 will suit you. If you have someone at your local range with a Cordoba I'm sure they will let you try theirs...An M2 should be easy to find at a range. Our club had 4 last weekend.

I cannot comment on the cordoba, however my wife just bought the M2 12 guage. It comes complete with shims,lube, all choke tubes, and a nice small plastic case. As far as shooting, we have only done trap, but that new Benelli stock sure does reduce recoil and it has worked very well so far at 350 shells through it using 2 3/4 trap loads and 3" long range. As far as auto loaders go, this shotgun I feel is good value for the dollar ($1500.00 can $). I just wish she would let me shoot it a little more. Good luck on your decision

Full size rifled slugs or jacketed sabots you will find the ammunition and shotgun manufacturers will recommend cylinder bore or maximun size improved cylinder choke. Any more choke and you take a serious risk of damage or injury due to the restriction in the barrel. I use 12 ga rifled slugs in my Winchester Defender it is a straight cylinder bore barrel.
