[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2349428, member: 68758"] It would have needed to be a huge variance in velocity to cause that much deviation at only 100 yards- and that would only relate to purely vertical stringing, which isn't your case. It's simple enough to rule out "stringing" due to heat and stresses in the barrel steel. If it consistently prints 2 tight, then strings randomly- and does this every time, with the barrel being allowed to cool completely in between groups- it's more likely than anything else to be heat related IMO. I don't see where you confirmed that you checked for full free-float. Make sure a business card can slide from forend to receiver freely, and if you have a lighter forend also make sure it's not flexing enough to contact the barrel when supported there. [/QUOTE]
