Is this all with the same brand of ammo? If so that could be the problem, Residue could be gumming up the works and throwing revolver timing off just enough to cause problems at the cone. Take a good look at that. The fact that it seems to be okay after a good cleaning indicates to me that there is an issue with something other than the gun.

Sounds very strange. The barrel is not loose on the frame of the gun? How is the cylinder rotation and alignment? Something sounds off.
Is there someone more experienced with shooting that kind of revolver who can test it also?
Try different brands of ammo, and see if that helps, also.
The world of Magnums are awesome.... so just stick with it. Otherwise, you may have to cut your losses.

So I took the pistol with me to the range today, with a box of Remington 180g bullets, only things I could find at sportsmans that weren't 240's.
Gun was clean at the start. Ran 5 shots into a nice group at 10 yards.
Reloaded, and shot 5 more, which led to a pie plate size group.
Set the pistol aside for 20-25 min, and shot my final group. Tighter then a pie plate, but not as tight as the first 5.
Was out to test some new 9mm loads, and give my sister some lessons, and ran out of time to shoot it any more.
Everything appears tight on the firearm, I went through 6-7 different trackers through a few different store to find one with a good tight lockup on the cylinder, forcing cone doesn't show anything unusual.
It appears as though it gets wild when it warms up? I've never tried shooting, and letting completely cool. I've also never seen a pistol get this wild, not liking ammo could lead to poor groups sure, but this seems extreme lol.
First group was tight, I pulled the 2nd to last shot and sent it low,
2nd group is large
3rd group was after it cooled down and I shot for the 3rd and final time.
Sorry about all the .22 holes, I was using my sister's target when she was done!
Anyone have any ideas what I should be looking for or trying?!
