[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 422278, member: 21068"] Some more thoughts on Horizontal Stringing. I had not mentioned the obvious, but since you state "just getting into" I'll mention it too. Flirting with 1/2 moa from a hard kicking 300 with a factory barrel is doing pretty good actually, but don't overlook the wind. Even a 300 will get blown off side to side some with wind changes. Even when you think its a tail wind it can blow you back and forth side to side. You can get nearly 1/2 of your total horizontal drift due to a wind blowing from 5:00 or 7:00 and without watching wind flags it can be real hard to notice that change and it would be back and forth and double if the wind is changing from 5 to 6 to 7 to 5, ect. Even if wind is not causing this issue now, it will be when you start really reaching out there. Lot's of things can cause horizontal, but I've mentioned the 3 most common in my opinion. Barrel warp w/ heat, change in seating depth needed and tons of things [B][I]could be [/I][/B]the culprit too but work on the things that you can quickly or easily change first. Hope this helps.
