Default Benelli Super Black Eagle problem

I got a Benelli Super Black Eagle (12 gauge) and among its many selling points was its ability to shoot anything from 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 shells. Well, it cycles the high brass stuff with no problem but when I took it to the sporting clays range it was an embarassment because it was jamming up on every other shell. I was shooting #8 shot low brass skeet loads, winchester and remington, both with same results. The gun is brand new, out of the box and the tech guys at Benelli said it had a "break-in" period so the recoil spring could fully cycle light and heavy loads. If that didn't work then he said I needed to buy a "light load kit". The tech guys idea of breaking the recoil spring in was shooting a couple of boxes of 3 1/2" mags through the gun. Does anyone have one of these guns and have you heard of or experienced this problem?
