Re: 16 sterly an R S T shells
I shoot RST shells in my Utica 16 ga Sterly all the time without issue. Do you notice a swelling anywhere in a fired shell when compared to a unfired shell ?

Try other brand shells and see what happens. Get you about 10 inches long hardwood dowel and scar it up from tip to about three inches down and wrap steel wool around hardwood dowel and polish your chambers using electric drill. put as much steelwool as will enter chambers Bobby

Re: 16 sterly an R S T shells
Sounds like a rough chamber for sure. I'd certainly try RST ammo in that gun as well as Bobby's idea of Steel Wool (0000 size). Can you see pitting in the chamber area? Also, assuming this is an extractor not and ejector gun?
