[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 462778, member: 1604"] If there's oil, water or any liquid in the barrel when shooting you will be fooled every time. It's liable to go anywhere. Here's a way to help: Be sure and patch the bore dry with several dry patches after cleaning. Buy yourself some "Lock-Ease" (in a little squeeze bottle-it is graphite and will dry in the barrel quickly), run one or two patches of the Lock-Eze down the bore. When it dries in the bore it will mimic the graphite lube in gunpowder and will shoot that first shot better. Won't change the temp of the barrel at all, which I'm sure has SOMETHING to do with the first shot being a stray, but will definitely help. I have also found that running an unlubricated bullet down a dry barrel is a good way to gets lots of copper fouling. Eithe rshoot it wet, or dry lube that first shot after cleaning. [/QUOTE]
