It should cycle field/target loads like the Remington Sport loads and Winchester Universal loads without any problems. If it doesnt, give it a good cleaning, paying special attention to the gas ports, and replace the O ring. FWIW, the Winchesters promo loads are very dirty and will gum your action up pretty quick. My 20 gauge 1100's and 11-87's cycle my 1100 fps reloads without any trouble, but I keep them clean and change O-rings about every 1000 rounds.
