JM Pro, first time shooting

[Greg B]

Took my new shotgun out yesterday. Shooting some clays with a couple friends.
Out of about 60 shells, I had about 5 light strikes. And it was odd that the strikes seemed way off center of the primer. But all the shells would fire after reloading.
I've ordered a Wolff 10/22 spring. But it will be a while before I get back to the range. Any other thoughts on this issue?
I cleaned every thing before going to the range. I'm using Slip Stream as a lube, bolt rails wet. But just the lightest film on other components.
I'm sure I can get it sorted, and maybe it's just a break-in issue. But I am a bit disappointed. Just a bit though.

Try cleaning the bolt assembly with aerosol gun cleaner. Mine got gunked up by something and was light striking. First gun I ever had to do this.

I will do that. Always a possibility I didn't get it clean enough, there was an awful lot of red grease all over the bolt.
The wife keeps giving me weird looks since I have disassembled this thing probably 10 times since I bought it.

Got the new hammer spring.
Should it be shortened? It's longer than the original.
Also, will the stronger spring be detrimental to the overall cycling? Since I imagine it will be using a little more energy to cock the hammer during cycling. But perhaps it's negligible.
