I just found this statement...
"European 7 mm cartridges all have 7.24 mm (0.285 in) grooves diameter. American 7 mm cartridges have 7.21 mm (0.284 in) grooves."

shooting a factory steyr rifle am i going to get the same accuracy out of .284 bullets?

Absolutely, my Sauer 202 7x64 shoots Sierra GK bullets in .5 MOA, as witnessed by these groups shot with different hunting handloads :

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

My FN Model 1924 Venezuelan army 7X57mm shoots very well with U.S. .284" bullets. So does my 7X57mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer!

May diverse 7x64 are all working great with 160grs Nosler Part and 58grs of N160, Velocity 2880fps! No problems with .284 bullets!

I've had excellent results with Accubonds, Partitions, and the "cheap" Hornaday and Speer 7mms too.
