[QUOTE="BC Sportsman, post: 1846644, member: 113252"] I was getting the exact same problem with my 300 Win Mag, 3/8" - 1/2" horizontal groups and vertical stringing between 1 and 1.25". Happened with quality ammo and hand loads with single digit SD. I was shooting off a Caldwell Rock BR Competition Front Rest and Armageddon rear bag. I even had a guy with great shooting skills try it out in case "its me". He got the same results. Turns out that with the light weight of the rifle and an inadequate muzzle brake, it was muzzle jump. I got good groups (less than 1/2") when I simply used my left hand to firmly hold down the fore end of the rifle. I guess you could do the same by holding down the scope. I just purchased a better muzzle brake but haven't tried it out yet. Will be doing some shooting at the end of the month. [/QUOTE]
