Thanks Ohio and everyone for the help. I am unsure what is normal and what is not with my new shotgun. I need to get back into the field and pull the trigger some more.

I noticed it last night in the field while shooting. I figured it needed a good cleaning. I cleaned it this morning and loaded it up in the house and it has the trouble unloading as discussed.

When I press the cartridge release button it ejects under the carrier. I can then manually retract the bolt and chamber the round. It is impossible to shoot doubles with this method due to the fact that it will not automatically reload.

This is my first Benelli. When I press the cartridge drop lever the shell will eject under the carrier where I can then manually retract the bolt and the shell will load into the chamber. I believe that I should not have to do this everytime. It is impossible for me to shoot doubles now without going through all of these steps to chamber a 2nd round.

While dove hunting in south Texas my SBE II stopped cycling shells from the magazine into the chamber. Even when I manually retract the bolt to unload the gun the shells stay in the magazine. Any help would be appreciated. I dont want to send it back for warranty work if I dont have to. Thanks!
