Should you be able to obtain a base swaging die, then Bob's your uncle and you can swag the 8x57 base to. Some rifles chambers the 8x57 case, than you have no problem, however rifles with tight chambers will not chamber the 8x57 case. However 6.5x54 cases are not difficult to obtain. The best parent case for these calibers are asfollows:Ħ,5x54 from 6,5x57 or 7x57 brass. Although nearly anything is possible and landing a man on the moon might be more difficult, forming cases for calibers such as the 6,5x54 9x56 8x56 9,5x57 from 30-06 brass is really not the way to go. your comment of making all MScalibers from 30-06 brass is a bit farfetched. Should you need some info I am quite willing to assist. I am collecting MS for a number of years and have about 20.
