3-4 is about right for a Remington design. A Colt should run a few more. If it's a Colt design you may have the wedge in too far. Smear the pin with Bore Butter before you install the cylinder. Caps getting in the action sound like a Colt design. Practice tipping the muzzle up slightly and over to the right a tad while you cock it and the frags will be less likely to fall into the action.
