Minute of paper plate at 25 yards? Besides cleaning the bore, check the muzzle for dings and dents.
BTW, two weeks ago I pulled the breechplug off of a Spanish gun I bought as a kit. My crescent wrench was too small so I took a Mauser action wrench to it. No resistance from the plug against that heaver Mauser wrench. That allowed me to clean the bore through and through. I also tossed the breechplug into the ultrasonic cleaner to soften and remove the fouling. It looks much better now. The barrel was then whacked against a piece of wood (it was always bent) to straighten it and then, along with a rib, tinned for future soldering.
