[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 467368, member: 13833"] It is not at all unusual for POI to change after cleaning, but as you stated, it didn't do that at first. It DOES sound like a fouling issue, however. Sometimes the barrel can be otherwise clean but have a carbon ring build up in the throat which throws accuracy out the window, but if this were the case, it wouldn't likely come back after a couple of shots. For whatever reason cleaning didn't change POI at first, I would still tend to think it was a normal "clean vs fouling shot issue". You might try soaking a patch with a good overnight solvent "even Kroil" and leaving it in the throat. Take it out and rotate a brush in the throat and then do the same with a clean patch to see if it comes out black.Make sure everything is clean BEFORE you do this so you can tell where you are with the carbon ring removal "if any".......Rich [/QUOTE]
