New 870 not ejecting

Good to hear that it's fixed, Brian. Short stroking will make it hang up, and so will pumping it gently. Pumps are made to work best when banged around, since when the sdrenaline flows they are.

7/8 oz? Good practice load and for novices, and I'd bet it'd work on doves at reasonable ranges.
 
Since I've concerns about new folks getting hold of those 3 1/2 Testosterone Special rounds and souring themselves on shotguns forever, I wish the darn thing had never been invented.

I'm old enough to recall when the first Dirty Harry movie came out, and you'd see ads in the papers saying...

"For sale, 44 Magnum S&W, some ammo. Only fired once"...

Also, unless one is shooting at big geese way far off, there's no need for the 3 1/2, but people will be picking it up on the "More is Better Principle"...
 
The only reason I even picked them up was just to see how they kicked. They kicked a lot. Now I know. ;) Not a learners round thats for sure. I wouldn't of dared try it for my first shot!

I probably wouldn't of even BOUGHT the Super-Mag, but it was only like $20 more... what the heck right? Of course, now thats $20 wasted, since I'll probably NEVER shoot a 3 1/2" round again, just too much money for a what I consider to be nothing more than a novelty...

I'm not soured yet.. ;)
