If it takes five fouling shots, then IMO there is something wrong. Was this the first time you used the foam? Or has this happened more than once? If it is the first and only time, then i would not be worried. If it has happened more than once, then further investigation is necessary. I know rifles can be querky, but five rounds is too many.

This was the first time I used the foam, before I used just solvent and brush and didnt seem as bad as this time. And how often do you need to clean a barrell. This gun was purchased used at a gun shop, he was trying to sell it as new, thats how it looked, new. But I looked in the barrell and saw it had been shot, got it a tad cheaper. The gun has given me problems before, it wont shoot moly bullets well at all. Sometimes it shoots 1" or better at 200 yds sometimes it dont.
