Default RE: Opening morning - Fouled/Clean Barrel?

I went out shooting my muzzle loader for my next to last "test run"before elk season. I basically needed to find out just this case. Will I have a clean or fowled barrel when I go out. Well, after the other day, I have determined I will surely have a dirty bore!! I am hitting almost 8" to the left at 60 yards, but the next three shots (without swabbing between) from my T/C speedloaders hit right where I aimed - the heart/lung area just behind the front shoulder. I will be going out one more time in the next 12 days to confirm this with a dirty bore to start, but I am sure it will work.

BTW - I am shooting 80 grains of Goex 2f and a 370 grain T/C Maxi-Ball.
