    I've owned or own several benelli and franchi and have never had issues, but i tend to shoot the game loads over target loads even for fun shooting. I believe its 1 1/8 oz load versus 1 oz

    Remington 1100 2 3/4" GUN. Remington 1187(2 3/4", 3" gun) , Beretta 1200F (Inerta gun, hence easy to clean). Beretta A300. Beretta 303. Beretta 391. (The 300 series Beretta's take more time to clean than i like to spend.
    This. 391s and the a300 should just rip through light target loads. The magnum chamber a400 can struggle with them though. My lady had an a400 that has to the best of my knowledge never failed to cycle 1oz/1200fps aguila target loads. About 3k through it so far.

    My Weatherby SA-08 has no problems with 1 1/8 ounce target loads. I've never run anything lighter.

    Looks like a nice semi-auto in the classies:
