Glad your QLA guns shoot well. But my bore was definitely cut off center to the QLA. Gunsmith that took if off measured it. It did fairly well with bullets having a rear bell (powerbelts/thors/FPBs) but not full bore conicals (some bullets like no excuses going through the target sideways).
And no one but T/C is claiming that the 1:28 twist is too fast for conicals. That is what they will tell you if you ask whether or not their guns will shoot conicals. Their answer: "No, our guns have a 1:28 twist which is designed for sabots, not conicals" Total fabrication
