Winchester cheap rounds :(

[Dsiwy]

Just a heads up the Winchester cheapo rounds with the silver base Jam like a Mother F#$%er in the 870. It was so hard to Extract, I had to slam the butt into the ground to open the action even then the round was still stuck in the chamber!! and the rim was ripped off by the extractor

My HP9-1 shoots those Winchester shells flawlessly.

my fabarm has no probs, but out of my 870MM that happened a lot. My hp9-1 also ate them up no prob.

Occasionally I get a stiff ejection with my mav-88 with these, but it's nothing major

Mine did the samething, it also didn't feed cheapo shells from the mag tube either (the mag problem dumbfounded me and the gunsmith). He reamed out the chamber and cleaned it all up for me and now it's way better. Apparently the tolerances aren't too strict when they make the barrels and if they are out just a bit you get jam city. Also steel rimmed shells expand more then brass ones do.

Well it is a 870P barrel so the qaulty should be good. They feed fine, just once in awhile they would get stuck in the chamber. Maybe I had a bad batch of ammo.

I must have been one of the lucky ones.

I can slam that cheap stuff all day with out a jam, but my dad's 870 doesn't like it to well.

I never had a problem with it when I had my 870.

Dsiwy,

Which Winchester shells were they? I have an 870P and would like to avoid the experience you just had. Any other brand you think might work better?

Thanks.
