To my pleasant surprise, the rifle was not only headspaced correctly to chamber my AI ammo (which was actually more than I had hoped for; I had assumed I would have to fireform a whole pile of new .257 Roberts brass into custom .257 AI brass for that particular rifle), but OALs of 2. 91-2.93 "" with various bullet weights and types was not a problem either.
-
The brass would fireform to the 30 cal chamber possibly splitting the neck.
