Are you using too thick, not recommended grease? Are you raising the wheel slightly, and turning it a little as you pump grease? I needed 50 strokes of the lever before grease started to move through the front bearing, when starting with an empty hub.
Even a hand operated gun, will push the grease out at some point, even if it has to move through the seal onto the brakes.
A couple tips, put the grease gun in the sun a bit, before use. The grease flows through warm bearings better than cold.
