I have shot them out of two Knights and an Omega, a Triumph and an Endeavor. I do have a Pro-Hunter in 45 that I have not shot them out of but I am confident I could if I found a need too.
I didn't wanna say it but since you did. All my Encores and Triumphs shot Bore size bullets excellent. I think the norm is people load and shoot and if its not accurate they complain about it. You still need to work up a load on bore size bullets just like sabots. That's why I always say, I wish all muzzleloaders had QLA'S

Yes, it may be part of it, but when I called TC to ask them about this they told me that the guns were made for sabots. I told them I live in a state that sabots can't be used, and he sounded like he didn't know any state was like that. Duh?

Some of the reports that I read were from guys who sounded like they put a good effort into trying to get a load to work. We know the QLA is off center on some guns. that's been shown in pictures. Do your guns have that? If yours are straight you aren't going to have a problem.

Funny that the junk Bergaras are always straight, and the high quality TC's aren't. Oops!

Funny how when they cut the QLA off they shot the conicals well with the same load. Must be magic.

How many T/C Muzzleloaders have you owned with a QLA?

I have owned three of them, two black diamonds and one Omega. That was more enough to know they are made to be sabot shooters (which hey did quite well actually), but not conical shooters.

I will buy one of those from you right now. First I will do a video on how well it shoots sabots. Then I will do a video on how it shoots connicals. Send me your full name and address and check will go out today. Ill buy the worst shooting one of the three.

I sold them all to buy rifles I wanted. Maybe you remember the last time I sent you something to test along with promised payment you never did your part of the bargain.

Then after I get the gun shooting accurately, I'm going to give it away on this forum to someone who needs a conical shooter. Your Buddy Muley is the first that comes to mind.
