grouping problems

[pass through]

I sighted in last weekend.I shot six good shots,then cleaned with soap and water,and fired six more great shots.Well that night I took it home and ran solvent and a brush through it.I shot five shots the next day and it hit everywhere.What happened?Should I clean it the same way everytime?

Consistency is huge in muzzleloading. Clean it the same every time. If you're shooting sabots there's a good chance the solvent you used is messing with the plastic.
