It made me feel better today when I tried the gun with 7/8 ounce Rottweil game with 21/2 powder. They shot fine, no problems. Also bought a box of AA super sporting clays and they shot fine. They are also 7/8 ounce. The shells that didn't shoot were Remington Gun Club trap shells, those are the only ones so far that won't cycle through the gun. I think it's cheap shells mostly that had me paranoid. Now I know I got a good deal, although I'm sure that browing would cycle Gun club shells fine.
