From what you say, it sounds like you have, at least, a good degree of accuracy, 10 shots all touching impresses me. As to the vertical stringing you mentioned, that could be a bedding problem, or a symptom of barrel heating, as Mal H offered.

Is your Ruger a light or heavy barreled rifle. Has it been glass bedded, and if so, how (pillar bedded??), and was it done right. Check for barrel to stock contact, in the barrel channel.

Sometimes a "free floated" barrel (bedded chamber length) with no stock contact forward of that point will shoot more accurately.

Vertical stringing could be due to variations in powder charge too, though with weighed charges you mentioned, that shouldn't be the problem.

Unfortunately, I'm not really familiar with your caliber, I always shot 30 caliber. Hope the above helps.
