The winner was the 115 NBT. With .02" jump and at around 2,900 fps, two loads were stand outs:

115 NBT, 44 gr. H-4350, three shot group, .357"
115 NBT, 45 gr. H-414, three into .68".

I'm going to try more of the H-4350 load, clock it with 5 shot groups.

I like this gun. It will bust some WT's this Fall, maybe an unlucky hog or two.
