12 Ga VH sticky opening after firing?

[78CJ]

Well, I am not too humble to admit that Brian suggested I start from the start. Kinda like making sure that the computer that won't turn on is plugged in.
I hadn't realized that I had any 12 Ga snap caps around but I did so I just tried it. Same tight opening. I don't believe my 20 gauge Repro re-cocks that tight but I only use it for Turkeys too. It had been so long since I could get out and shoot that I did not realize they cocked that hard. My first instinct was that the loads were too much for the gun.

Thanks for the help.

But does it do the same thing with a hull? I have some inexpensive snap caps that do the same thing, they create some resistance when opening the gun even though the gun functions fine with various types of ammo.
