Without knowing much about your gun, I think your problem is more that your gun won't cycle low brass 2 3/4 shells. A lot of semi-autos will have trouble ejecting that type of shell. Especially if your gun is chambered for 3 1/2 shells. You should check the paperwork that came with the gun. Some guns have adjustments you can make to allow it to cycle weaker 2 3/4 shells. For instance a spring loaded semi sometimes has an extra ring you take out. Hope that helps. Experimenting with different ammos I don't think is the answer, they all have the same amount of powder really. Unless you jump up to a high brass shell, but then we are talking price as well.

In ans. to your question on are AA's good for trap. Yes, there are millions of them used every year for trap shooting and small game hunting.

I agree with Jim and Bill. Sounds like a gun issue. But another question would be are you doing it as a sport/compition or to keep your shooting skills up to snuff? If you are doing it for fun and to keep you skills sharp then I would suggest that you stay with the shells you use for your feathered flyers (assuming lead shot). The difference in shot speeds and patterns could make a big difference in the field! I used to compete in skeet (very small and local shoots), but I did really well, but I used what I used for my dove shoots, WIN SuperSpeed (1325fps). Makes a difference when you drop to 1150 (which I think the speed is for them). In addition, they are a little more pricey than other rounds, but they are great, consistent and re-loadable rounds! Hope this helps some.
