[QUOTE="brianwinzor, post: 356873, member: 1067"] Kevin, I see no reason why Viht N170 would not work well with the Nosler 115BT in your 257W, and is definitely worth trying. It would also be worth trying in your 7mm STW, and 30/8mm Mag with the bullet weights you mentioned. About 10 months ago I tried it with the Nosler 115 BT in my 257W, and it gave average to good accuracy (0.5 - 0.75 moa). Unfortunately my CED Chrono decided it was then too late in the day to give any more readings. Earlier in the day I had recorded with this bullet weight: 78.0 grains H870 - 3338 (Max) 79.0 grains AR2218 - 3291 (Near Max) About 1 week later I loaded up some cases using the Nosler 115 BT, to chronograph and compare the performance of Viht N170 and Viht N570. I also had some loads using the Nosler 100 BT with IMR 7828, and Re 22. Unfortunately I never got to test them, as several days later my house was broken into, and the .224 Clark, 25/06AI, and 257W rifles were stolen, and as yet not recovered. Good luck with your testing and hunting. Regards, Brian. [/QUOTE]
