Edit: I did a couple C96's with a re-sized 30 Mauser case to take a 256 bullet. The 256 Mauser cartridge works great in C96/M30 Mausers and a TT-33 Tokarev clone. I was somewhat interested in doing a 30 Luger re-sized to take the 256 bullet but in order to maintain adequate neck length it ended up being short and stubby looking...I still have the cases lying on my bench, trying different lengths for the only RN 256 bullet I could find...

...So I'll pass on this fantastic deal...
