7.62x54R brass to 8x54R?

[JosephDerMauserSchiesser]

I am sick of paying $15 for a box of 10 corrosive surplus rounds of 8x56R and the brass to reload it is also insanely priced.

I remember hearing that you could modify 7.62x54R brass to 8x56R specs. Anyone out there done this/ have any advice?

I just use Graf's brass - it's no more expensive in 8x56R than it is in 54R?

I do not understand how I never saw that sight before. They even have the 10x60R Swiss. Awesome thank you.
