My buddy has a two year old Retay that he turkey hunts with. The gun has barely been shot. It jammed on him yesterday morning. Is this a common occurrence? Any suggestions??

With handloads On some semi autos the hulls need to be trimmed prior to loading so they don’t hang up ejecting once the roll crimp opens after the shot.

Or shoot an alternative load with a shorter hull.

Apex are roll crimped handloads, probably Hal’s bigxl20 load, probably not trimmed hulls, I’ll bet that is the problem.

The big stubby 20 load is what I think some fellas I know are shooting out of a semi auto.

He said the gun is ejecting the shell but not putting the next one in.

I've never had a problem with Federal 3" Hevishot and TSS loads in my 20 gauge Benelli M2.
Maybe he should try a box.

Don’t think a Benelli won’t hang. I’ve got two Retay’s and have never had a problem with either one!

I own 3 SBE's and 2 Retay's. The Retay requires some lubrication prior to a full break in. My SBE's run best almost dry. I would clean it thoroughly and make sure it is well oiled. I almost traded my Masa Mara after shooting flyers at a hunt test with an expensive single shot. Cleaned and lubed and it has been fine.

Benelli's have their issues. If you have experienced the Benelli click, you certainly will remember it. I can still see the gobbler hauling butt over the hill.
