As it turns out, it looks like it's a matter of burning out the oil in the barrel. They found that if they sprayed the barrel down really well with one of the GunScrubber or carb cleaner type of cleaners that leave no residue (making sure that the gun was positioned to let it all run through it) and they had the first shot hitting the same place as the rest of them. Haven't done any "scientific" testing of the theory myself, but it makes sense. I read an article a while back where they tried to figure out why we need fouling shots.
