I have a spent casing get stuck now and then when the slide closes. It gets stuck tight too. I need a mallet to move the slide back. Will it lesson as i break it in?

That's odd for a mini. They usually throw the cases to the next county. It would not surprise me that closing on a spent case causes a jamb. I experienced that on occasion shooting parade blanks without an adapter. The bolt would only partially open than close and not quite be all the way into.battery. The question here is why is it closing on a spent case?
 
Looks like the case is bouncing back into the action after being ejected.
I'd take apart the bolt and really clean the extractor, ejector, spring, and all race ways well.
Wouldn't hurt to clean the gas system also.

I was having an issue with the extractor not popping over the rim on my mini a while back. A good cleaning of the extractor plunger, spring, and bore got it running in tip top shape again.
