Brass case conversions

[cruddymutt]

Earlier I was cutting .223 brass to make 7.62x25 brass and a good friend came over. He asked what I was doing and I told him and he had never heard of using brass from one caliber to make brass for another caliber. I started showing him some of my other brass conversions and he was pretty surprised by it.
Got me thinking about starting a thread about what brass could be turned into other calibers. If this is unwanted info the mods feel free to delete. No recipes just brass. Lets make this actual conversions you have done/seen, not just heard about. Heres the ones I actually do.

.223 into 7.62x25
.270 into 30-06
.270 into 8mm Mauser
30-06 into 8mm Mauser

Ones I have seen but never done
30-06 into .308

Which ones do you do?

Back in the 80's, I made 1000's of 7tcu's from .223.

I think 300 Blackout is actually a 7.62x35 but I think the parent case is 223. Not real familiar with the round.

you are right, My mind thought 35, my fingers said 39

I convert .233/5.56 to 300blk (7.62x45) quite often, I have done probably 2-3000 rounds in the last few days.

Some guys do .40 S&W to 357Sig (it ends up being 0.020" too short, but i guess it works for some people).

I've also heard of 7.62x39 being formed into 6.8.

[VooDooV]

223/5.56 to Rem 222.
223/5.56 to 17-223 Wildcat
250 savage to 22-250

If you want to make 7.62x25 buy 9mm win mag cases. Much easier to deal with. No trimming if I remember. Plus there great for making full length blanks!

[BossHaug]

30-06 into .270
.308 into .243
30-30 into .30 Herret
