Okay, this made me scratch my head:
The other day I was at the range. I had taken my brother the Friday before, cleaned the guns, and gone again a few days later. One thing I noticed with two revolvers that I had just cleaned was that the first two rounds our of each of them wandered WAY off target [a couple of inches at 25ft] and keyholed a chunk out of the paper. One was a .22 and the other a .357 magnum. After the first two rounds they tightened up and shot fine.
Now I am SURE I swabbed out the barrels before I went to make sure that there was no oil or anything left in the barrel. I was down to the last little bit out of the bottle of Hoppes when I cleaned them. #9 backwash? or did I just not do a thorough enough job swabbing out the barrels? The other handguns did fine.
