ok 9 shots and its on. I was very happy with the groups, they were a lot smaller than i originally thought it would have been. 9 shots all on a dirty bore did very well. I'll take a pic later this afternoon when i go grab the box. To damn hot out.

Ok, after i got everything dialed in my last 3 shots measured 1 3/8" @ 100 yrds. Total was 10 shots, not 9.


2 more shots behind my fingers but those were just adjustment shots.

I have to figure out the darn adjustments on this scope. It says 1/4" @ 100 but its a lot less than that. Those 2 shots at the very top left corner were where i had adjusted it after my first shot. My first shot is the one in the lower right hand corner. Everything else was just tuning the scope to where i needed it. Also ran out of bullets, But Corey is setting me up with some sabots to try out.

Have you cut the barrel down yet. If not I don't think I would touch it.

Good shooting!

Nope, not going to touch the QLA. This one seems just fine. Powerbelts should be quite a lot better.

I would be REAL surprised if powerbelts outdid that 1 & 3/8. Looks like you got one that will shoot conicals. Want to trade?

Im sure they will out do it if the QLA doesnt act up with them. 1 3/8" groups with a scope isnt what i'd call a tack driver but its good hunting accuracy and forces me to keep the rifle a little while longer

Trade?

Let me think.
mmmmmm





















No [8D]

im curious my self!

I just bought 2 packs of powerbelts on gunbroker from the say dealer for $14.95 + 5.50 shipping combined! I originally asked for 2 packs of 295s but changed my order to one pack of 295 and one pack of 348 AT's. I want to have an assortment just in case the 295's dont fly well.
