Good luck Phil and who ever is still out there in the woods.

Got a question for yall. I got a new to me mossberg 835 for the season this year and it's great when clean but the area I hunt is extremely Sandy so the shell would get stuck and I would have to slam the butt on the ground to load a shell after the shot.

Looking for input (recommendations) on a all around shotgun preferably one that will shoot all sizes and I'm not throwing the possibility of getting a semiauto. I've been looking at the stoeger but if I ever want to get a slug barrel they are smooth bore. Any input would help
