RE: Stoeger Review
I don' t have any personal experience with that particular firearm, but, I' ve seen other posts that those guns are pretty nice for the money. Make sure it has a barrel selector if you' re going to use it for shooting sports so you can select which barrel/choke combo depending on the shot opportunity.
As far as Semi-autos go, you should never have a problem with the wad getting stuck in the barrel as long as you don' t underload the shells. Stick with the reloading data minimum or higher. Even if it did, I don' t think it would cause a problem. Follow up shot should blow it out without any thing bad happening, but I wouldn' t chance it either.
