A few more days out shooting and about 800 rounds later:
I had no malfunctions whatsoever the last time I went out. We shot about 300 rounds of the CCI tactical. It seems to dirty the gun slightly more than Mini Mags but it is still easy to clean.

Also shot some CCI bird-shot with no problems (obviously it didn't cycle). Anyone know if thats bad for the barrel or anything?

On another trip we tried about 60 rounds of Federal Bulk ammo with no problems. I did find that more solvent and a stiffer brush were needed after using the Federal. I am planning on shooting through the rest of the CCI ammo I have and then trying to stick with the Federal since it is the cheapest by far. ($16 per 525 with no tax or shipping right now)

I will also try a couple boxes of Remington Golden Bullets I got on sale.

Another thing I've noticed is a waxy buildup in the magazines below the lips. I clean that area every time I use them and have rarely had to disassemble the mags.

I've also been using less and less oil each time I reassemble the gun and have had no new issues.

That's all for now.
