I'm sure others have had this issue also. After the gun has sat for a week or so the barrel fouling hardens up and the loading pressure is higher. I have noticed the first couple shots are off a little and then they settle in. I don't store the gun with the breech plug installed so for the last 2 weeks before heading to the range I have brushed the barrel about 10 strokes with a dry brush, then run 4 dry patches through it, put in the plug and head out to shoot. After doing this for the last 2 weeks my 300 yard cold shots have been right on the bull and the following shots right right there for the group.
I have found that after cleaning it takes me about 4 shots to get settled back in for consistent groups. I don't want to mess with cleaning during the season so this has been working to get me a consistent cold shot.
