Yeah, the gun was never unaccurate.I was just lazy. It is a pain in the arse to swab.I can't get the patch to come back up after pushing it down the barrel soI have to take the breech plug out every time.I tried a smaller patch but it didn't help.
What kind of jag are you swabbing with? A simple loading jag works fine. This is the one I normally shoot most of my projectiles with...

that is the jag I use it to load shockwaves.. also I swab with that jag head as well. Just make sure that the patch is long enough to reach over that head. Work the patch is short strokes. When you reach the bottom work that patch back up the barrel just like you sent it down. It should stay on that jag head just fine. The smaller patch was probably your downfall. You do not want them too large or two short. 1-1/2 by 1-1/2 is good, even a little bigger will do, just no too big or they get hard to shove down and can jam.
