The Federal value packs at WalMart are usually the same price.
If your chamber is clean and polished - no one polishes chambers like they used to - the gun should run even the Universals. All my 1100s and 11-87 would, even though they ripped half the shell bases ejecting them they did cycle fine.
A lot of people wrap a bore brush with steel wool and burnish the chamber with that, but I have had limited success with that method. I have had 100% success using an automotive drum brake wheel cylinder hone. It removed all the ridges and or high spots. It will not remove too much material.
