Shooting on front and rear sandbags…I'm neither an accomplished nor technically sound shooter…any immediate thoughts when you see this grouping?

Might try some seating depth changes or primer.

Horizontal is usually wind or shooter. What is the group size?

That dot is 3/4"…

So that group is pretty close to .5 moa. Light rifle with heavy trigger?

Trigger pull
BTW…this is what my son shot with the same load on a different day with rounds loaded during a different session….If he's just a better shooter, I can live with that…if the load's not done, that's what keeps me up at night…realizing now I need to see if he can repeat his group (also shot at 200 yds)
Unfortunately, no…probably 10+ lbs with about 2 lb pull…

X2, shoot at least 10 into a group. Just one random off-the-wall 3-shot group with zero context is ultimately meaningless.

Your rifle stock needs to be in the same spot in your shoulder pocket every shot.

My thoughts as well NW Hunter. Try pulling the rifle hard into your shoulder and find the spot where the cross hairs stay on target. Also sliding it in the rest or bipods.

This might be a little technical, but couldn't the shooters heartbeat cause a small horizontal spread too?
