Question Problem with 7.62 X 54R converted to 8 X 56 R

I read that it is possible to converted 7.62 x 54 R to 8 X 56 R .I anneal the case and ran the brass to 8 X 56 R sizing die and load them up . It work fine but when I resize the brass for second reload the case will not hold the .330 bullet any more. What should I do ? I full lenght size all the brass .

I don't have an answer for you, but Graf & Sons sells the 8 X 56R brass for about $30.00 per 100 pieces. Here is their page on it.

You're welcome. Graf & Sons have a lot of unusual calibers.
