Just getting back from chasing snow geese in Kansas. The first day temps hit 35-40 degrees and the Benelli M2 cycled all the 3" BB's w/o problems. The following day temps were in the single digits. The 3" shells wouldn't cycle after 4-5 shots. Switched to 2 3/4" and they worked for another 4-5 shots then the same problem. The gun would eject the spent shell but fail to grab and load the next. The gun is kept clean. I use Rem Oil and was told that's the problem. Because it's Teflon based at low temps it doesn't function well. Said to clean it thoroughly and switch to FP-10 oil. It made sense to me. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions? Thanks for your input. Oh yea, even with the cold weather there were 400,000 white geese in the area.
