Like art said, inspect and clean your chambers. Maybe get the chambers polished if you still have problems. You could even have the smithy gauge the chambers (could be on the tight side) and open them up a little. Folks that shoot competition shooting and have match barrels notice that some brands of ammo (or types of the same brand) have extraction issues. With match barrels, they also have "match" chambers that have very tight tolerances and are not as "open" as a normal factory chamber. This means that some brands (CCI comes to mind for .22LR) that do not have very good QC for their ammo have some issues in these match chambers. The same ammo will work in a non-match chamber, because the non-match chamber is a bit more "open" to allow for a greater variance in diameters.

My guess is that either you have chambers that are a little to "tight" and need to be opened up or polished, to allow for a slightly larger case diameter or your chambers are a bit dirty. If you do not want to mess with the chambers then just switch brands until you find one that works for your rifle and shotgun. Also, depending on the brand of ammo, the tolerances for the ammo can very greatly between the lower end ammo and the upper end ammo from the same manufacturer (i.e. Federal Premium Vital-Shok is upper end and Federal Power-Shok is lower cheap end).
