Fibre Wads In Auto's

[brucemyster 75]

Don't know about anybody else but my semi auto, Remington 1100, doesn't like fibre wad cartridges, it won't cycle them, and I'm not talking puny rounds, I'm using 29gm 6's, my son has an Armsan Semi auto and that doesn't like the fibre wad cartridges either. I even stripped down my remi, cleaned the gas ports, with the ubiquitous unfolded paper clip, and fitted a new Viton O ring, all to no avail. chuck in a plastic wad cartridge and it cycles like a good 'n.

Any one else had cycling problems with fibre wads or is it that my gun doesn't particularly like this specific brand of fibre wads?

The gas seal with a plastic wad is slightly more snug to the barrel walls than with a fibre but I don't think I've ever had a problem with fibres,

 

Is it the same brand of shell that wont cycle in both autos?

 

Perhaps try a different brand of fibre ammunition and see if that makes a difference,

 

I used some Victory Challenger 28gr fibres in my Winchester when I had it but don't think I used any in my Hatsan. I may have but nothing sticks in my mind to say they wouldn't cycle.

Use fibers in my AL390 all the time, no issues.

Get a Benelli and use whatever you like the beauty of the inertia system.

I had the odd problem with my Remington 1100 cycling fibre wads but my Beretta's cycle them fine. Never had a jam with the Beretta's with any cartridge.
