Default QLA Flunks Again?

These target were shot using a Dream Season carrying a 1.5X-5X scope, and the Optima with a 4X scope. Range was 99 yard. The target following, was shot, with 3 shots, using the 270 grain BorLock, 110g Blackhorn, and W209 primer, from the Dream Season. The high hit is kinda hard to see in the rectangle upper right.












Then the bullet was switched to the 300g XTP in the black crush rib. These three shots all hit in the red.















After taping the paper, the Optima loaded with the 270g BorLok, 110g Blackhorn, W209 primer, was used to hole the target thre more times.

I'd take a failure like that group with the XTPs any day. My shots rarely exceed 75 yards so that's plenty accurate for me.
