[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2749701, member: 106514"] One of my 257 Wbys was the base Howa. It would invariably put 2 shots touching or nearly and 1 in shallow left field. The guy I sold it to reports same, but says it's a non-issue to him because the first 2 shots are always close together. Didn't matter that you let the barrel cool to ambient between each shot. Other was a Mauser Mark X custom, which could have been put together any kind of way, so may not have been the cartridge's fault. 1.5" cloverleaf groups of 3 was as good as it got. I've read where others have had the same experience with most every Wby cartridge. Always a mixed bag of opinions/experiences. My absolute favorite is the .240. I just wish it came in 1:8 twist with 26" magnum contour barrel. [/QUOTE]
