I just finished getting all my data together for my testing of the nosler 115 gr OTM 2nds loads I worked up in my rifle, including the accuracy for the loads. All loads were 5 shots and accuracy was the measured group minus .277 for the bullet diameter. At times, I discounted one flyer from a group if I had a cluster of 4 shots and 1 slightly off from the others. I was also having a problem with the first shot of a 5 shot string going high then the rest of the 4 shots grouping nicely. I posted on this awhile back.
I'm not saying any of these loads are safe and I'm posting them for information only. Please work up any and all loads using published data from reloading manuals.
I disclaim all possible liability for damages including, actual, incidental and consequential, resulting from usage of the information contained in this message. If you do end up using the data posted, it will be at your own risk, and please use extreme caution and proper reloading practices.
Anyway, here are my results:
