I'm not familiar with that case. However looking at the dimensions it looks like a simple size trim and some neck thinning work. The 5x57 shows to be .003" larger in the rim (per steve's page) I doubt that would be an issue.


As usual just my $.02

Close, but the 220 Swift is semi rimmed, whereas the "x57" family is rimless.
