I have a Browning gold, and reload 1oz loads with 700x. Even with a clean gun, I get shells that do not eject properly. What powders do some of you use in your semiautos that eject without fail?

Interesting. I have two gold 12ga and two win x2's which are the same gun pretty well. Never had an issue with any of the 4 guns cycling 1 oz with 700x.
I use sts hulls, cb pink wads and win primers???
May be something in your gun needs attention?? or are you using the cheep hulls. My browning hate those

How much powder are you dropping? Maybe bump it up. I am using E3 win AA hulls, claybuster wads and cheddite primers with excellent results. E3y is a very clean powder.

I have tried bumping it up as much as I can with a 1oz load, but no luck. I think I went as high as 19 gr. More and more I think the problem is the action spring tube. I had an accident a few years ago, and the tube broke, sepatating the stock from the receiver. Had a gunsmith repair it, which looks flawless, but now think maybe something with it still isn't right. I hate to go spend $100 to have a new one shipped to me, but I may have to. I love my gold, but don't use it as it doesn't work well............. guess I have some money to spend.:HR:
