Couple years ago i discovered that this gun shoots patched round balls tolerably well. The QLA makes for easy loading too.

Fired three rounds into a group that measures 7/8". Problem was i was aiming at the left hand lower target. Adjusted the scope and fired another group that measures 1 3/4".
The guy at the next bench was firing a very nice AR-15 making nice groups. Told him i was going to put a big bullet into the middle of his 1" five shot group. He said: "You can't do it. Held about 1 1/2" to the left and put a big hole in the middle of his group. No camera, no picture.
