Thanks for the help. As for taking the gun down, when keeping records for this problem I only clean the barrel and breech. I do not touch the scope and leave everything else alone until the end of the season. As for these flyers my first indication was perhaps using hoppes #9 after shooting BH209, but that doesn't hold true with my encore. So I am not sure what the problem might be. I will say that the gun has always shot quite well after those one or two shots. I am certainly not a great shooter but have shot some real good groups recently with BH209.
