The vertical stringing may be you barrel heating up or velocity. If you at 200 I almost certain it is velocity. It could be a few other things in your shooting. I am going to wait to here from the other "smart members".
This distance is 100 yards and I'm shooting strong hand (bench rest with front bag). Keep in mind this is my first attempt at shooting a bolt action rifle and I'm thinking it has to be something in my mechanics. I haven't adjusted the trigger from the factory setting so I may try to lighten it up and see what happens.
