Default RE: JAMMING!!!!

I have seen three 870' s with the same problem, and it isn' t the gun, it' s the shells. Some of the cheaper target loads, such as low grade Winchesters and ESPECIALLY Estate target loads use very thin and weak metal on the bottoms of the hull. When fired, this stuff expands enough to cause jamming. It shouldn' t happen when you run your hunting loads through it.
