[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 3077269, member: 25831"] What rifle? Factory or custom barrel? If factory ammo, that could also be the culprit. What ammo are you shooting. Could just need breaking it in longer to start shooing well. To test this: Clean to bare steel. Shoot 5 rounds of same ammo lot (don't swap manufacturers). Not cold/clean bore and the 4 shots following. You are just fouling and creating a starting point as if hunting. Put it up and shoot something else until it can get to ambient temps. Put it away for the day is even better. Push ONE clean dry patch through it, but do not use solvent. Take it out again and shoot one cold/dirty shot and a follow up. Put it away until it is ambient temps or for the day even better. One dry clean patch Shoot one cold/dirty and one follow up. Do this a few times. It's hard to not take it out and shoot a bunch, but if a factory hunting type rifle/barrel-it may only like a cold bore and a follow up shot-just like in hunting. If able do this on the same target sheets with different dots, but label by date. You should see a pattern. [/QUOTE]
