I use nothing but Break-Free on the sliding and pivoting action parts.
I don't advise 7/8oz loads and neither does Benelli. If you want to shoot 7/8oz an 11-87 can be modified to do so and equipped with recoil compensation and an adjustable stock for about what you can get a Benelli for.

I've been having this same problem. Three of my friends shoot SBEs and two of them have jammed on the second round. I'm hoping that by oiling the recoil spring guide in the stock will help. I'll find out Wednesday.
