[QUOTE="jsthntn247, post: 1086120, member: 14894"] A 7-08 needs a long action to push the 168gr bullets. You can get by with a short action and the 140's because you can use a faster powder and don't need as much case capacity. With a short action I'd do a 260 with a .090 freebore which will allow the 140's to be shot at magazine length. Terry Cross uses this freebore on his reamers. I built my 7-08 on a long action and it had to be throated and extra .140 to get the 162 amaxs to seat above the neck shoulder junction. In a 26" tube I'm running them 2650 with 45.2gr of H4350.
