Gun and gear reviews S&W 1854 357 jamming

So far I’ve put 250 rounds through her.
This has happened a few times.
Example here in the video.
Today at the range I shot 100 rounds and this happened about 4 times.
Reasons?

Using PMC Bronze .357 Mag 158gr. JSP

He is clearly not cycling it fully.

Wouldn't it be the lifter/elevator/feed ramp that guides the round from the tube magazine up into the chamber? Doesn't the extractor pull the empty casing backwards? Or does it do both here like in a Mauser 1898 action? I suspect those saying op needs to use more force on the lever are correct because it is an intermittent problem when he appears to be short stroking the lever. Just like an undergassed semi, a lever needs a certain amount of force to function reliably.
