7.62x54R brass to 8x54R?

**JosephDerMauserSchiesser** · 02-10-2008 12:24 AM

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?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

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 icon

. Awesome thank you.
