[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 821121, member: 5302"] A 30 caliber 180-grain spitzer boattail bullet leaving the muzzle at 2600 fps average with a 100 fps spread will have vertical shot stringing on target at 100 yards of about 2/10ths of an inch. A 1000 yards, vertical shot stringing will be about 40 inches. Primers have to be really bad to see vertical shot stringing at 100 yards. I don't think your stringing's caused by the load. If you're shooting your rifle hand held against a shoulder with the fore end resting atop something on a bench, your position, holding and trigger pulling technique can easily cause 1/2 to 1 MOA stringing in any direction.
