Been running a load real close to this one, just a little hotter. It's been great, no pressure signs, and hammers deer with the 120NBT. I had a bunch of the H414 on hand so gave it a try and haven't messed with anything else. I got a couple of pounds of Varget last week so I may try the magic load when I get back to the reloading bench.

The load I use is slightly over the usual book max, but I have no signs of pressure - easy bolt lift, primers not flattened or cratered, no ejector cut marks on case heads.
Winchester 7mm-08 brass 140 grain Accubond 43.8 grains RL15 Federal 210 primers
Chrony says this is good for ~2875 fps out of my Kimber 84M.

My best load is 140 bt or accubonds with 43.5 grains of imr 4064. Kills good and it keeps five shots on a four inch gong at 500 yards
