[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2084849, member: 77249"] I would suggest you shoot the rifle through a chronograph and check first 5 shot string. By shooting low, And right is characteristic of a slow shot throwing it out of the group. Some rifle barrels are particular about the lube that is used in storage, Some Silicone and water displacer lubes like WD 40 will not work in some barrels. When I started shooting muzzleloaders about 50 years ago I was having the same trouble. It was taking 3 or 4 shot to get my rifle to settle down. I was disgusted with the rifle at a shoot one day, An old man asked, "What lube are you using in the barrel to store rifle". I stated WD 40. He looked at me and said, "Just use cheap 20W motor oil, For short periods of storage". It cleans out easier, The old gentleman was right, The first shot was there. Paper targets and squirrels hated that rifle. [/QUOTE]
