First, some background...I consider myself an average shooter with mostly good results on my centerfire rifles. Groups within 1-3 inches at 100yds. I recently purchased a muzzleloader and noted the following. First shot exactly where I want...2 inches high at 100yds on center. Next 2 shots forget it...3-5 inches high right or left. Now I'm thinking its due to barrel fouling with plastic from the sabots? Is this something common? Do I need to clean the barrel after each shot for consistency? I don't think it's from heat as I always wait for it to cool down between shots.

Need more info to give you a good answer!

What type bullets, are you using powder or pellets.... how are you loading your sabots? What type rifle? Are you using a scope?

Any one of these and/or any combination of these can affect your shots!
