[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 766590, member: 22335"] Are you cleaning the bore every time before you take it out? If so, leave it alone! Do your fouling shots in August and then don't clean them until January when your season is over. Don't keep cleaning it and hoping that your next shot might be on! Most rifles can take from 20 to 200 shots before their accuracy degrades enough to need a cleaning. I don't clean my rifles until I get bored in the middle of the winter and they're going to sit for 9 months. If the inside of the barrel gets wet then just run a clean patch or a Bore Snake through it to remove any moisture and be done with it. If I'm wrong and you're not cleaning it and then fouling it every time then I'd consider bedding at least one of them to see if your condition improves. [/QUOTE]
