Is there characteristics of a powder that deliver more "punch",,, than what the numbers indicate... ie, are there inherent characteristics in some powders that do not show across a chronograph...???

Yes.
Most notable is that powders giving the highest muzzle velocity with a given bullet at safe pressures typically do not produce the best accuracy with that bullet. This usually happens with slower burning powders. Best accuracy tends to happen with powders in the middle range of what's used for a given cartridge.
