Most of my testing has been with 120gr charges (85gr weighed) of BH209 with 250-300gr sabot bullets in my Encore 209x50. First groups always seem to be better than groups following a dozen shots or so. I run a T17 patch down the bore and then flip it over for another run down the bore in between shots. Admittedly, I'm inpatient and don't let the barrel cool too much. The barrel isn't HOT but it certainly is warm. I do not clean/clear the breech plug until I'm home and doing a thorough cleaning of the entire rifle.
Could the fouled bore or warm barrel be causing the groups to open up?
