RE: Patterning problems.
Thanks for the insight. I totally agree with the shooter error. I was happy with my shooting, but knew it was time to quit. If the shot was off a couple of inches I'd blame myself more! I admit the errant shot seemed to be when I was most confident that it was going to be my final shot. My final shot meaning I was happy with the group. But then again if I'm off a couple of inches, the barrel is hot, packed the round a little harder, etc.. it all might add up to 8' @ 50 yds.
I'll try the lubrication tip, and detail my cleaning a little better. A fresh day, and fresh idea's might get me back on track.
