As I was reading this, I remembered the old days of duck hunting with my browning A5.  I remember having to adjust the rings around the spring when I went from light load to heavy load shells.  Does anyone else remember having to change them or am I just old and forgetful.  It sounds, however, like this ejection problems is with both light and heavy loads.  I am also certain that Browning would have pointed this out.  I am a Browning fan and hate to hear about your troubles.

Another sub-gauge to look at is the Beretta 20 ga Ultima Turkey.  I have never had a problem out of that gun regardless of what I shoot.  Comes with rail for easy red dot installation.

Good luck with the 16.

Tom I hate that you had this problem with your sweet 16,but I'm with you,I don't have time for these guessing games with a gun...

You did the right thing by getting rid of it ...

I have a couple of old A5 one 20 ga. and one 12 ga.  20 was for everything and the 12 was mostly for ducks etc. back in the good old days... even did some crow hunting with the old 12 ga.

ANY inertia gun will require a firm shoulder mount.

The SBE 3 outclasses the A5 by a wide margin in my experience.

Good choice.
