Steve - Take Jerry's advice and lube those mini's grooves!

You'll be glad you did, the groups will be much tighter and the fouling will not be as much of a problem as it is now, which is also messing with your groups.

Taking it hunting, let alone bagging a deer, is a wonderful show of respect, both to the gun AND your ancestor. Might as well do it up as right as you can.
