I know Eley produce a 3 inch with fibre, appreciate you have probably tried those. There was one other ..I think Lylevale maybe but I did not get good reports on these. Now I have an 1100 in 16 gauge which used to hang up and I purchased a can of FASTEX auto action lube. I did as the instruction said and the problem disappeared.
I plan on shooting the Eley fibre in my 410 double this coming bird season, so would be interested in how this pans out. I assume you have cleaned and polished the chamber thoroughly, because this all points to something causing the shell to hang up in the chamber. Make of cartridge etc would be interesting.
I also reload and Clay & Game have been very helpful in aiding me with non toxic reloads for my 410, perhaps a call to them would be an idea. Try an e mail to start with as they are not always in the office. They can be slow in answering e mails as well because they are out at Game Fairs a lot.
I'm a Fiocchi 3 inch Mag fan as well. Great cartridge.
A bit of research some years ago proved fibre wads to be more toxic than plastic to cattle and quite a lot of plastic wads now are bio degradeable or should be. BUT, you still have to toe the line with the land owner.
Welcome to THE forum. No doubt someone else will come up with ideas on this.
