Default Shot placement at 100 yds. trouble Help please

Here goes, shot my Traditions Evolution inline last night. Stopped using butter pads between shots to improve my 100 yard shots as advised on this thread. Three at 50 yards; 1 bull on the left side of the ten one 9/8 line at 3 o’clock and one 9/8 line at 10 o’clock. So I am happy with this performance. At 100 yards the first three with aiming at the bull was all three down about six inches from the bull at the 4 –5 o’clock position, about a 3 inch group. Next three I aimed at the 11 o’clock position 6 inches off the bull. Another 3 inch group but they were right where I aimed 6 inches off the bull at 11 o’clock. Note each group including the first shot had a flier that I did not count.

Data: using 2 - 50 gr 777 pellets, 250 gr Hornady STPs, Scoped at 4x, shot a cap first to barrel clear check and foul, cleaned the barrel after 7 shots and used clean pads to clear oil out. Had to do this because it was getting tough to drive the sabot down the barrel. Also noticed that after cleaning their was a harder to push the sabot down the barrel spot about ½ way down the barrel for a few inches?

OK experts does this have a simple answer I am missing.
