I believe if you check (what we call today) the .25-Krag you will find it and .257 Roberts both hold about the same grains of water.

The first .25-Krag (different name back then) that used factory bullets and a normal chamber was made for Ned Roberts in 1910. Niedner and Mann were using the Krag necked down to take the .25 caliber Base-Band bullets. This was expensive for all the tools, Roberts wanted to use factory bullets.
