If you have issues with the cheap shells, hone the chamber. Not burnish with a brass brush with steel wool wrapped around it, but hone it with a drum brake wheel cylinder hone. Removes any ridges and polishes. I have not had to do it to mine, but I have done others, and they all eat the cheap stuff now without having to beat on the ground. My 1100s will rip the bases, but they do cycle.
