Why is my pump jamming?????
I have a remington 7600 and everytime i put four bullets in my clip, it will feed the first shot, but when i eject it, it will jam the second. Im hoping this is my clip and not the gun.....the clip also fit strangely into my gun when loaded as well. (with no bullets it fit fine, loaded it had to be forced)

i have a browning bps 12 guage. everytime i put some rounds through it, it does somehting odd. when i shoot the last shell, it locks up and wont let me eject this. tried different shell brands also. paid a gunsmith 50.00 to fix it, but he couldnt get it to do it. any ideas?

I only load 3 into my 7600 mag. The spring tension tends to struggle when 4 rounds are used. If the mag has extended use then the spring may be shot. Take some bore scrubber and clean out the mag as there may be dirt in there.
Take a plier and bend the lip outward on the short front side. Bend very little. It may help stabelize the mag. I nothing works then buy a new mag. This mag will run you $29 -32.

I've found that if I use the "small base" dies from RCBS that I've solved all my pump action problems..they work and feed with no problems at all...maybe you have the bullet out near the factory maximum listing..push em' back in a little..your shooting at a volleyball sized target so group size is not all that important, as long as it's under 3 inches you'll hit the ole deer...I'll bet some small base dies will solve your problems.. also is the rotating lugs clean.. a lot of build-up over the years will slow the process down, especially brass shavings.. give her a good cleaning.. won't hurt a thing and don't forget about the rotating bolt..it needs to be decreased and scrubbed from time to time.......
