Nope, no extra velocity. IMR doesn`t show any though with this powder.

The velocities on their (Hodgdon) web site mirrors Varget or IMR/H4350 with the same bullet in the 7-08.
IMR claims 3118 fps with a 120gr BT and I got 3041 fps for 10 rounds.
IMR data has a 140gr at 2847 fps and I clocked 2786 fps at book max and a SD of 14 again for 10 rounds.
I`m thinking of upping the powder charge in the future, as my pressure trace shows it to be a little below factory pressures. For now though it shoots very well, and will do anything I need a 7mm bullet to do, so I`m in no hurry.
I feel these velocities are pretty close to the IMR labs, considering they used a min-SAAMI spec chamber & barrel and mine isn`t.

Accuracy? I`ll let you decide on. These are all book max loads with various bullets, 5 shots @ 100 M
