Just to toss this in - most of the people I have seen that have problems with newer "in - lines" have had problems because the bores are typically tighter and require more cleaning and care between shots. I have seen several people at our local range who have great guns and cant get them to shoot - because they try to shoot 5 shots without cleaning and can't seat the bullet properly. For reference - I clean my Encore on the range every two shots ( just a wet patch and 2-3 dry ones )
