This last Saturday was my 3rd day hunting with my new SBE2. My first day out, I had trouble cycling 2 3/4" shells which I read may be a problem the first few boxes you shoot. My second day out I shot 2 boxes of 3.5" and a box of 3" with no issue.
This past Saturday when I went out, I shot two boxes of 3.5" with no issue before going to 3" (yes, I need more practice! ). My gun started jamming with the 3" shells. I had two basic issues I noticed. The first was that after my first shot, it would cycle a new round into the chamber and half cycle a second which would cause a jam. The second issue I noticed was that if I cleared it and got just one round in the chamber, it would not allow me to load another round into the magazine. It acted as though I had to force it in (which I didn't).
Has anyone experienced these issues before? I'm wondering if I cleaned it wrong or if there is something specific I should be doing during cleaning. I searched the forums and it appears that I'm cleaning it correctly, swabbing the inside of the barrel as well as the chamber and bolt parts with an oilly swab after cleaning.
Searching for answers here. I thought I was buying the best and most bulletproof gun on the market, so I'm a little concerned with this jamming...
