Okay going to try this posting a picture that is I've forgotten how. Anyway this is a three shot group out of my Ruger No 1 300 win mag. It has a 26" barrel in standard sporting contour all factory. It started having a lot of issues even stringing shots 7" in a straight verticle line. But it used to not shoot like that something changed. I tried everything including changing powder bullet weight and even shooting without forearm on rifle. I ended up sandwiching the barrel to the stock with a thin piece of rubber between it. Plastic was okay and the brass shim helped with stringing but the best groups were with the rubber. 3 shots under 2" at 300 yards I'm not complaining a bit for a standard hunting rifle. I may tinker some more but I don't know what I can expect out of a standard hunting rifle. Good enough to put it in the ole pumper.
