Not necessarily, per saami specs, the 7mm08 is .040" longer from case base to neck shoulder junction. And OAL is longer also, but doesn't matter here.
There's a lot of talk of headspace causing separation, while I totally agree, even bumping shoulders back too far creates headspace issues, but if you figure it out after the first firing, and by NOT oversizing your brass, you can get decent service life out of the brass. Just bump the shoulders enough to chamber the case and don't overwork it.
If you gain a little more case capacity because of the oversize chamber, run with it!
