[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 532078, member: 2736"] I have both the 7/08 and the 7/08 x 40 improved and find they both have there good points. The 7/08 is a great round for hunting and targets out to long distances. (600 yards+ for hunting and 1000 yards for targets. The 7/08x40imp ads about 150 to 200 ft/sec to the same bullets as the 7/08 but is still less than the 7 WSM is capable of. The 7/08x40 imp is good on brass like most 40o shouldered cases but some say not worth the difference between it and the 7/08. They both will work in a short action and if you want to use 140+ grain bullets the 7/08x40 has the edge. But for deer size game the 7/08 is ideal and capable of great accuracy and stopping ability, plus it is easy to load and doesent beat you up in a short, light rifle. When fire forming brass for the 7/08x40 I use the 308 Lapua brass and like the end results. I hope this is not to much information and will help you decide which one to go with. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
