I have a new 870 Tactical Express like this one: http://remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model-870/model-870-express-tactical.aspx
I've put about 125 rounds through it, but I've had about 10 or 12 failures to fully extract. When I move the bolt backwards, the spent shell does not always pop out of the action. Instead, it kinda just lays sideways inside the action with the front half of the spent shell sticking out. This prohibits the next shell from moving up into the breech. A quick flick is all thats needed to get the spent shell to fall all the way out of the action. Its not a hard jam, but it does stop the shotgun from cycling. The shells used are the Federal bulk stuff from Wal-Mart. These shells have the short steel bases as opposed to the standard brass bases.
What is causing this? What is the remedy? Thanks for your input!
