Do you think the reason the "blue" sabots held a tighter group at end of session than the hph24s did at beginning was due to powder buildup?
There really is not a big build up of powder in the bore... it is more or less a constant level of BH dust... Your problem may have been getting all of the lubricants out of the bore.
One thing since I do not know what bore oil you are using or how much might have been in the bore before you began shooting... I would suggest, as several people do, before shooing did you run a few Alcohol patches through the bore to help draw out the bore oils.
But in all honesty I think you might have finally cleared the bore of lubricants when it started shooting well. You might have even had some remanents of JB's and oil left in the bore dehind the lands....
Just kinda thinking out loud....
