Hi guys, fairly new to the forum, but have been an outside observer for a long time.  These patterns are following my first deep clean.  I plan to polish the barrel sometime in the near future and see how it improves upon these.  Now I have a questions for you guys... between shots one, two, and three I swabbed out with a patch over brush.  I forgot to swab before the 4th and final shot with the Undertaker.  Would this account for the 50 pellet drop in my 10" circle for the last shot? 
Thanks

Some guns pattern better with clean bores, some do not. Apparently yours prefers a clean bore. Those are some very impressive patterns! Very consistent numbers. I'd be happy with it! :z-twocents:
