Subject: Rewind lever jam with M-winder

I am finding that my M6 is jamming at the end of bulk-loaded rolls when
using a winder.  The lever used to engage the rewind mechanism is very
difficult to move.  When it finally does give, (after requiring more force
than when the winder is not used) the gears make a grinding sound.  Has
anyone else experienced this? Is it normal or does it indicate a problem of
some sort?
   I never know when I get to the last frame on my bulk loaded rolls,
because I am not sure exactly how many frames I get per load, even though
my bulk loader has a frame counter on it.
