Leaning into it? Both eyes open? Lol! Sorry!
Possibly the ammo? Some of the "cheaper" shells with the steel heads have caused me problems.

Lifter isn’t bent.
Yes he shoots with both eyes open( piece of tape on left lense).
He doesn’t weight his front foot as much as I do, probably closer to 60/40 front to back.
He breaks 85+ shooting sporting and skeet and normally wins his age group.
Extra power spring just arrived in the mail so I’ll put that in. Busy next two weekends so it will be a while before he can shoot it again.

Shouldn’t be ammo. We have been shooting the same ammo for several months

Thought I was doing good, until I shot my son's shotgun. It went down the road immediately, then he got a better gun.

And how often does one have to go thru this procedure to have a Benelli function reliably? Again.......... I'd ask the same question.

The recoil spring in the buttstock needs cleaning as well as its tube housing. To get the stock bolt plug out of the tube you have to heat it up.because you will strip the wrench surface if you don't. The lock dope they use is strong heat it up and it comes out easy..mb This is what I am agreeing with.

Have you replaced the inertia spring?

Up to you, and as I said mixed thoughts but all of my autos are stored action shut and trigger snapped. Always to reduce pressure on the springs.

How much does your son weigh? Benellis need a firmer shoulder mount (resistance) to function properly. If you've ever tried to shoot a Benelli two handed from the hips, it will cycle less reliably than most gas guns.
If it is cycling properly when you shoot, it's possible he isn't providing sufficient resistance for the inertia action/recoil spring to properly function.
