I just saw Laelkhunter's post on this topic and remembered I have been meaning to ask about the problem of vertical string results in my own shooting.
In most of my practice at the range, I have seen vertical stringing in my hunting load. I haven't been able to figure out if it's something I'm doing, or if it's an issue with the load. So far I only use factory-loaded ammunition. There isn't a consistent progression - sometimes the first shot is high and later shots string lower. Other times the first shot is lowest and others go higher. The horizontal variance is minimal.
Can you experts help me figure out what might be happening?
