[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 468966, member: 307"] "I am getting inconsistent performance from my rifle after each barrel cleaning (have to re-zero)." This statement makes me suspicious that what you are seeing is normal "point of impact" (POI) movement of the bullet after cleanging. If there is oil or solvent residue left in the barrel, and there invariably always is, this will cause the first shot (or more) to fly off course. If the rifle is solid (i.e., action screws tight, barrel not touching, consistent trigger) then it should settle down and return to it original zero (or POI) after the barrel is slightly fouled. My rifles usually like at least one fouling shot and then they're back in their groove(s). I may be way off base. You are using the same ammo each time, correct? Do you give the rifle time to "settle" down after cleaning the barrel? JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
