Allout,
Are you spit patching between shots? I can shoot at least 15 shots before accuracy degrades.
My cleaning between shots is pulling the breach plug and cleaning it off, running a brush and bore cleaner through it and swabbing the barrel clean/dry. Pretty much completely cleaning the gun. If I do this accuracy is good.
If I do no cleaning between shots then it climbs with each shot and hard to load after about 3 shots. If I just swab with a dry patch to knock some crud out of it, it won't climb as much each shot.
What worked ok last year was I'd just run a brush through it dry and then dry patch to get most the crud out. I can shoot about 3 shots this way and hold decent accuracy.
Best accuracy is a completely cleaned gun between shots....
Im running 2(50 grain) Pyrodex pellets, Win 209 ML primers and 250g PB AeroLites.

Sounds like you have a formula that works but it's very work intensive. You might try, after one fouling shot, a spit patch in and out, and then flip it over to the dry side, in and out. Then reload. You might try triple seven with the t7 209's as well. They specifically designed the chemistry of those to not be so nasty with their Triple 7 powder.
