I think it is likely the shells you are using.
With that said, I have shot literally thousands of rounds out of a Urika gold sporting model, in the rain, heat, cold, night, day ............all kinds of conditions and there are some shells it just does not like.
I see the same in ALL the models on the sporting clays range.

I hunt with and older WOOD stock 686 Onyx, same thing thousands of rounds, used as a paddle, push pole, anchor, nutra deterant ...........and I hunt in Venice, on public land with no motorized boats, so the thing is not treated like a china doll.

and there are shells out there that will not fit the gun in certain conditions.
They swell, some when wet, some seemingly when cold, some when hot........

While the gun will shoot them when I force them in, the extractor will not spit them when I crack the gun open.

That is a fine weapon made by literally the oldest company in the history of companies, You can bet it has more to do with loads than weapon.

Not saying the "B" guns have not made bad ones...........but 99.99999% of them are just fine.
