[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1961089, member: 10291"] Over the years, the most frequent cause of vertical stringing at the longer distances that I have observed with shooters has been due to inconsistency in rifle hold. In particular, excessive and/or inconsistent cheek weld pressure. The lighter the rifle/barrel the greater the difficulty. Keep in mind that the barrel can rise as much as 1/4” before the bullet exits. Not saying this is the reason for the stringing, but it’s something I’d check given all mechanical aspects of the rifle are sound, and load rework is being contemplated as a next step. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
