Fit in a short action magazine with VLD type bullets while reaching the lands and not excessively intruding in powder space. Same with any of the Creedmoor cartridges vs x57 cartridges.

A somethingx57 in a short magazine is definitely not ideal. A medium or long action is a a game changer for the x57s with vlds.
Agree. My 7x57 was in a LA, my 257R is in a long action...
If one really wanted a quarter bore in a SA, I think the 257 CM would make sense.
Just me.
