When it ejects does the plastic hull stay in the chamber?
Wonder if the shell is actually sticking in the chamber?
Can you manually drop a new shell in the chamber to see if it goes in and comes out without issue.
Has the chamber been thoroughly cleaned?

My Browning Silver will eat anything I throw at it, same story with my hand me down Winchester Model 1400. This Mossberg 930 I purchased in 2016 and it has ran fine until this dove season. Hence the original question. "Anyone else have this issue and how did you rectify it?"I don’t suppose you have a second shotgun or a friend with a semi auto that can run a few of the worst offenders to see what happens. There are only 3 things that can be wrong. The gun, the ammo or the shooter.
ThanksWelcome to the forum plowboy.
I'll be entirely honest.
I have never seen that happen before. Ever. Period.
Even more confusing to me is that it's doing it with multiple brand shells and didn't ever do it before.
Kind of makes me think the action spring is aging and weakening and may need replaced because it's allowing the bolt to come back so quickly that it's like pulling a tablecloth out from under the dishes on the table.
But that is just a really wild guess.
Another wild guess would be debris or fouling underneath of the extractor maybe. I just don't know.
I might try changing the action spring. An old timer at my gun club had a similar opinion about it being a timing problem. I have pulled the entire bolt apart for a deep and thorough cleaning when this adventure began. I do owe Fiocchi an apology as I thought it was their shells. They comped me a couple of boxes that I shot out of my Winchester 101 Special Trap.
It would be great if it's just the spring, but like I said, I was just throwing a few things out there. If it's a recent development, aside from cleaning it, had you made any changes prior?
Obviously, something has changed. Pinpointing that may help.
At worst, you may end up having to send it in for repair work to the factory and be sure to at least send some pictures of the shells if you don't want to send a couple different hulls themselves along with the gun.
Everything in the barrel looks and feels fine. To answer your question, North of ten, south of twenty.From an ammo prespective I've sern this from "cheap" ammo and using reloads where the wad was not seated properly. Given the pictures in ftom the op and problems with two different brands it's doubtful this malfunction is caused by the ammo.
If mine, I'd pull the barrel and inspect the chamber and forcing cone.
Guess the other question is how many times has this happened?
