Any Ammo to Avoid with my Benelli M4?

Personally, when brand new it would shoot 00 buck with no problem.  #6 high brass bird shot would cycle about 70 to 80% of the time.  Cheap old 12 gauge #6 low brass would cycle about half the time.  The half the time the old junk would cycle was when  I was really leaning into it like they taught me in LE.  In the military I suppose they told  us to lean into it as well, but it was so long ago I would not swear to it.

I used 7 1/2 on both my M4s to run them in. No issues. 100%

Ok, new M4 owner here as well.. is steel shot ok or not? Does it matter? 
I’ve shot 00 /slugs/7/8 shot.. bird loads.. she worked well on everything. Thx in advance, JW

Steel is fine thru the oem choke. Consult the choke manufacturer if going aftermarket. Example, a few of my titanium chokes aren’t rated for steel shot.
