[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5761285, member: 19427"] You need to clean completely and fire one more shot. I learned this the hard way. I had my gun shooting great groups after 5 shots to get it on paper and zeroed. Cleaned it up and put it away. The next season I took it out to shoot it and my first shot was 5in low. Second shot crept higher and then shots 3-5 were touching each other right where I had thought they should have been all along. I cleaned the gun and shot it again and it was 5in low. I was not happy with this knowing sometimes you have to shoot more than once in the woods. Different sabots solved my problem and now the gun shoots the same place whether it’s clean or dirty.
