Thanks Guys! I cleaned the barrel pretty good. The roundball patches are looking good to when I shoot. I buy dry patches and lube them before I shoot with mink oil. I hope I can get it back. I dont use bore butter very much so It should not have been built up. This gun has that QLA if that makes a difference.

Thing is it shot that load good at one point but now wont. I can get other loads too shoot better in it though.

As the barrel is broke in on a gun that has not been shot a lot you may need thicker patches or a bit more powder. Lee
