Yes your bolt head will work with any cartridge based on a .473 bolt head. The 7-08 is one of my favorites as well as the .260 but it depends what you are doing with it. As far as sticking with factory premium bottom metal and not using the axis style mags sounds like a plan to me. What style barrel are you using, sporter, magnum sporter or light varmint. Both barrels you mention are good choices for your application.
