[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 1082076, member: 17112"] Pretty odd... I guess you feel you've done enough testing to repeat the case that the faster powders always string and the slower powders always don't? The first thing I would do is shoot the two different combo's the same day as close to the same conditions as possible if you haven't already. Load 10 that string out (varget or whatever) and 10 that don't (4350 or whatever). Use brass that is all in the same condition. Same headstamp, #x fired, etc. Shoot 2 separate 5 shot groups of each. Off bags or rest instead of a bipod if that was a variable during previous testing. Maybe have a buddy you trust as a good trigger man get behind the gun. What range are your verifying your vertical stringing at? I typically verify good (or bad) chrono numbers (ES and SD) on paper at 5-600. You would have to have a seriously bad ES to notice any difference at 100. I'm probably not much help here but I've just never heard of a bad powder/bullet combo only stringing horizontal. Usually its an opened up scatter. I have, however, shot along side of a lot of guys that blamed poor mechanics and trigger discipline on coriolis and spin drift at 400-500. I'm not at all blaming you. But when it comes to true, quality, precision rifles, we are usually the least precise part of the puzzle. Good luck. I hope you can get it figured out. Nothing is more frustrating than our favorite toys not working right. [/QUOTE]
