I think 3000 fps is a realistic velocity with 120 gr bullets and RL-15 or Varget for that matter in a 22" barreled 7mm-08. Big Game (recommend WLR primers), 2000MR, and CFE-223 will get you 100-150 even 200 fps more but most times won't be any more accurate, probably a little less. Wife shoots 120 gr TTSX out of her 7-08ai at a little over 3200 fps (24" barrel) and gets very good accuracy, not quite as good as Varget. This is her do everything load and she'll be taking it to NM this fall for a bull elk hunt in a trophy unit. In my X-Bolt 7-08, my deer load is a 120 gr NBT under 50.5 gr Big Game at 3130ish fps. WLR primers really tightened the groups up in that rifle. And that exact same load with 120 gr TTSX will be our backup rifle on that NM hunt.
