Zike: my experience has been with the 30-06, 308 and the 7.5 Swiss.

The length of the plug is long enough to reach to the bottom of the neck on all 3 of those without getting into the flare area (safe amount)

I change the setting to suit the difference with a micrometer keeping it well away from the flare so a bit over or under is not an issue.

I don't know enough about them to know if a .257 is not long enough.
