Bimodal bullet pattern from Savage 110 HS 338 Lapua

I have a 300 win mag that does the same thing. Usually shot number 1 and 3 are touching and shot number 2 is 3/4" high. I don't remember where but I read that this can be caused by a bad factory recoil lug. I pulled it apart and am waiting on a new one.

Group of five I always have one flyer high and right... Always...

I had my recoil lug replaced with a ground flat one during the re-barrel also I bedded the rifle into the stock anyway so that should have taken care of any lug issues right?

The loose bolt handle could be a possible problem,easy to fix. Hornady makes a nice concentricity for about a hundred bucks,not sure if that cartridge will fit in it though. I got one for xmas last year and check all my loads with it.
