[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 276851, member: 2736"] I have owned a 7/08x40 (Ackley) and it gave me about 150 ft/sec more velocity than the 7/08 Rem with 140gr bullets. And with 150gr BTs about 125 ft/sec more . When I moved up to the 160+ gr bullets it was about 100ft/sec faster than the 7/08 Rem. If I may suggest : you might look at the 7 WSM for the bigger bullets . I hunt with one ( A 7 WSM ) and with 160gr bullets I can squeeze 3000+ ft/sec velocity out of it without excessive pressure. It is built on a short action Remingtion with a 23" # 5 Lilja ss barrel and is my carry rifle for ELK if I'm going to do a lot of walking. If you use the 168 bergers in a short action you may have to single load because the like being seated near or against the lands. Sorry I gave you more to think about but thats the fun of a new build. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
