Remington 870 Super Mag Problem?

Janesy hit the nail on the head. I had my 870 Express jam on me on my upland hunt in Manitoba when a bunch of Hun's lifted off my gun jammed up. It took everything I had to open that dam chamber. I was shooting the cheap aluminum hull shells and the chamber was rough. I used a drill, cleaning rod with a 12ga brush wrapped in 0000 steel wool with some metal polish. Basically polished my chamber for about 3-5min and presto no more hang up's with the cheap shell. Give it a try, I know my uncle had the similar problem with his as well and they both shoot great.

Considering the price per 25 shell is 1$ more for the brass base, its 4 cents more per shell !!! there is limit to cheapness :p

I wasn't being cheap, it's just what I happened to have had that day. It shouldn't matter whether the box of shells cost me $10 or $25 the point is that the gun should shoot whatever I feed it regardless of what shells cost. BTW my Beretta Xtrema 2 will feed these "cheap" shells without problems, so if the OP does the chamber polishing he to will be able to save some money on ammo.;)

+1 I agree. Probably won't get out for another couple weeks or so to see if the chamber polish has done its job, but I will post the results in this thread.
