YES I AM, i will try some SCORE or Federal
I would also look into polishing your chamber if your somewhat handy.
Chuck up a shotgun cleaning rod into a drill and wrap 0000 steel wool around a chamber brush.
You can use oil,I personally like to use mothers mag & aluminum polish to help smooth things out.
Keep the rpm's low and don't score your chamber with the knurled portion of the cleaning rod (wrap with electrical tape).

Yeah , like he said , the winchester universal target loads , they do that to my Mossberg 590 , the low base tin or aluminium just seems to expand to much in the chamber too much .
I shot a box of Win Un. in my 590 and Pro Forces... didn't have a problem. They may have not been a target load though, don't remember now.

How does the plastic hull of these shells swell more then any other ?
I thinking it's more likely what ever metal they're using for the low base expanding to much .

It's the base of the shell that causes the problem.
If you use a magnet on one of the shells you will see that the base is made of steel.When the shell is fired in the chamber it will obturate to the dimension of the chamber but unlike brass it doesn't spring back quickly.
This is what causes extraction problems in roughly cut chambers.After a good polish on my chamber I've had had not a single problem with many of these shells.

I shot that Winchester Universal stuff without problems in my Fabarm Pro Forces and Mossy 590A1... Unsure if the target loads are different, the stuff I have is #4 lead shot, 2 3/4. I have 75 shells left so I'll try it again and see what happens.
