i must shot lead rounds at my local range. Last Sunday I fired 100 rounds (185 gr semi wad)... Gun performed 100%... no FTF/FTE... Happy me. This was a bullseye practice so they let me get on paper at 15' and the first 5 shots centered at 4".
I shot the next 80 rounds at 50' and its was humbling. Shooting bulleye relays was an struggle just to hold paper. I'm a new center fire shooter and so I took full responsibility.
End of relay I went back and tried the various mags again at 15' and the "grouping" had opened up to 12"! Did I get tired/lazy? Sight/trigger control were all good?
Cleaned the weapon when I returned home... Heavy lead fouling 1.5" into the barrel... Difficult to remove... Would accuracy deteriorate due to this?
