[QUOTE="Zerk, post: 1324596, member: 84595"] I am a novice, just having fun learning and reading. Never had a custom barrel. But I have noticed one of my guns the 3rd shot starts to open up. I was doing 4 shots in a row to test my powder and then waiting to cool barrel. Now on testing I wait between shots. As 5 minutes between groups seem low to me. But I am not familar witht he barrel. I have wondered about what to do here. After the dry patches, I push an oil one down whether I am storing, or getting ready to shoot. I then do fouling shots. Which sometimes are close, sometimes need 3 or 4 to settle down. Maybe a debated topic, but I had though shooting a dry clean barrel was bad. [/QUOTE]
