about every 5th or 6th mag, so 30 shells, my grizzly locks up. the forend will not slide back and eject the empty. I have to use ALOT of force to slide the forend down and eject the shell. once its out its bussness as usual and it never happens again for another 30 or so shells maybe more it seems random. I bought the gun new and have only put about 125 shells through it so far. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Yeah the wallmart winchester cheap stuff. I was thinking it was the empty causing the jam up.

It's prob the Winchester shells. I have two 8.5's and one has shot close to 700 rounds and works flawlessly and second one has shot 300 with no issues. Using mostly federal target and skeet loads. And some 3" nitro turkey loads.

I can almost guarantee you it's those winchester value pack shells that are causing the problems. I've experienced similar issues with that stuff when I first bought my 12.5" grizzly. Coincidentally, my buddy was experiencing the same type of malfunctions in his real deal Remington 870 with the same stuff. I've since put two flats of federal target loads through my grizzly without incident.
