Less case capacity, but same speed.. Can I get a free lunch with that?
Yes less case capacity but getting 7mm08 factory velocities (also notice i'm not saying a 7mm Valkyrie AR handloads can match 7mm08 handloads). Sounds fishy but we are using newer powders like Leverevolution which is tuned to push pills 100 to 150fps faster out of smaller cases. You don't need the same size case now to get the same results as you used to need. The 7mm VAR design is taking advantage of advancements it powder to get similar performance out of a smaller case that will work in an AR-15. The lunch is not free because other trades off exist like a 7 round mag capacity and not all 7mm bullets will work do to the shorter mag. VLD's for example will not work for mag length loads.
