Some good advice in previous posts:
Clean all the old grease from the gun, look at the extractor and make sure there is not a build up of grease under it, this happens a lot and can cause much trouble. It might even be desirable to remove it and then clean to make sure all the hardened grease is gone.
A build up of grease can damage your breach block.
During your next shooting with normal ammunition place a small section of paper behind the rear toggle on the frame. The toggle should smash it on recoil but not bit though completely. If it does then your springs are weak and should be replaced.
Stove piping can be caused by the extractor holding onto the bullet too tightly and raising the tip of the bullet during recoil causing a jam. It can also be caused by a weak main spring, the toggle impacts the rear of the frame and slams forward at increased speed, this strips the bullet from the magazine faster than normal and the bullet impacts the top of the chamber.
Of course magazines can cause the same problem, the latching notch on the mag can cause a higher than normal angle causing much of the same problems,
Just some ideas-Good luck
