[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1164670, member: 12995"] They will both push equal weight bullets nearly the same, since they are derived from the same case (.308 Win). However, if you go 7mm-08, you could always have the chamber opened to 7mm-08 Ackley Improved 40°. You will gain some powder capacity, which will in-turn gain you more velocity from the increase in powder charge and the AI case design. Kenny Jarrett did a write-up about it on their website a while back. Pretty interesting. If I were to build a 7mm-08, it would definitely be the AI version, after reading their results. And for your task, I would load 168 VLD's with your factory barrel. You can try the 180 Hybrids to see if you can get them to stabilize with the 9.25" twist, but with a non-magnum cartridge, that might be tough. The 168's would do fine within a reasonable distance. When you go to this site, click on 7mm-08 Improved on the right-hand side of the page.
