Looking for some help. I worked up a load for my SPS-V .308 and I think I found a good one with 44.1 grains of Varget, 178 A-max seated long at 2.234 to Ogive, .010 off the lands. Primer pockets uniformed, flash holes deburred, trimmed to 2.009 with once fired Hornady match brass. I shot two 5 shot groups at 500 yards and both were only 1.5 and 1.6 inches vertically but 4.7 and 4.8 horizontally. Wind was about 4 mph from 11 o'clock. Do you think it's the load? Or quite possibly just my shooting form needs help?
Horizontal Stringing.

That's a High Master string of 10 shots in F class. I don't think you need to do anything. But, yes, it's wind, and probably a little luck making the vertical seem smaller than it really is.
Ok, wow did not know that, I think I will stick with this load then. I'm pretty new to this, only been shooting LR for little over a year and a half, just started reloading and testing loads two weeks ago. Can't wait to try this load at 1000 this weekend.
Well, that's assuming they're centered 
but yeah, that's a good group. Don't be surprised if the vertical opens up on your next one, though - 1.5" is a very small dispersion for 500 yards.
