Scrub the barrel and see if it still happens . If it still happens the ammo may be a bit crappy .

I don't know the exact number of shots since cleaning but the barrel would not should have been dirty.
At a guess would have had something like 150 rounds through it since last cleaned.
Only used at the range too so no foreign dirt in there from the bush etc.
