Sorry, here is more info.

I am shooting an optima. I was shooting powerbelts but decided to switch to shockwaves this year. My gun has always done this.

I shoot 85 grains pyrodex with 200 grain shockwaves. In between shots I run a wet patch then a dry patch. My ramrod is marked and I do tap the barrell to settle the powder(all tips that I have learned on here!). I didn't know if this were normal for ML. I like to shoot alot and it really irks me that after 2 or three shots I can't hit what I am aiming at. I will try to give it time in between shots but I like to shoot so much that I hate waitng.

Thanks for the replies so far.
