[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 422239, member: 21068"] The horizontal stringing is sometimes caused by trigger pull or variations of force against the trigger/rifle while fireing. Sometimes just a shift in the rest or bags from recoil will cause horizontal stringing. The harder kicking guns are more likely to see this condition. You can do an aftermarket trigger which will break w/ less pull against the rifle. Every time we squeeze the trigger, we're imparting force against the gun that is still being applied to one extent or another while the bullet is leaving the barrel.............the less force acting on the rifle sometimes the better. I know some old guys that were shooting alot of 1 hole groups at 200 yds with black powder cartrides and external adjustment scopes way back in the day, one of the most important things they said was consistent recoil of the rifle (same amount of rearward and sideways and torsional movement for every shot). So, either you hold the rifle tighter to control this, or try not to hold it at all (kinda dangerous to not hold a 300 Maggie). Just my thoughts on the horizontal stringing you were concerned with.
