I've got about 30 rounds thru my 45-70 with Win.#2 ammo. I've had several failures to extract. The shell came about halfway out of the chamber and jammed. The recoil is OK shooting offhand but shooting at the bench was brutal! This is my first lever gun and I would welcome any advice. How many rounds will it take to break it in, best handling techniques, best ammo, how to clean, etc. The straight grip seems to strain my wrist. I've got big hands and I don't have much room inside the loop. Thanks, Rick
