I think I may have figured it out . I have a rail section on the bottom of my forend of the stock for a bipod . I was using the front rest that day and I think that little rail section is causing inconsistent recoil movement as it hits the the rest during recoil . My plan is to take that rail piece off and maybe not let the rifle recoil back as much as I was letting it .

I hate dealing with this kind of crap because it’s almost certainly just one little thing causing the vertical stringing but it could take me 3,4,5….8 tries to figure out what that one thing is . I did do a seating depth test at 100 yards but only with five shots each. Not sure how valid it is, but I did find a different node at .080 off the lands , I started .020 off the lands . I can always try that as well.
