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...
