"Is the hull being left in the chamber of the barrel. Or is the hull being partly extracted from the chamber but not being ejected from the receiver.

Then is the next round not coming out of the magazine onto the shell lifter so it can be placed into the barrel.

It sounds to me your get partial extraction and no ejection induce by the extra recoil of the 3 inch mag ammo. This is most likely caused by not holding onto the forend firmly."

This. I was pretty timid about the recoil. You describe the symptoms in spite of my difficulty with terminlogy. The empty was still in the receiver. The next round was still in the magazine.

Is the brass high or low on the 3" ?

Are the shells commercially manufactured ?

If the brass is not properly sized
they will jam in the chamber.

Before you send it in try this make sure you have the shotgun properly mounted to your shoulder frimly but not to tight. Hold the forend firmly lean into the gun.

After the shot before you take it off your shoulder sharply work the side rear ward they are made to be worked sharply and hard you will not hurt it see what happens.

A good pump gunner does not remove the shotgun from his shoulder between shots.
