Be sure to give the bore a good scrubbing with a good bore cleaner after all that shooting,dry, and fire a fouling shot. Pace your shooting. All semi, pump, etc. guns are sensitive to heating. Although seldom noticeable when hunting, at the range it is. Fire, wait a few minutes for the barrel to cool and fire the next one. Sure it takes time, but what of it? you are trying to get it right. Make sure the shooter isnt getting flinchy. Even the "tough guys" start to after awhile.
Good point I forgot to mention my groups really open up after about 3 shots in a row. I shoot 2 at a time then let it cool for anywhere to 5-15 minutes. Until the barrel is cool to the touch. I only shoot 2 at a time when sighting in.
