I send mine through a Dillon 8mm Mauser trim die but I'm tempted to try using the rifle itself with a well lubed case to see if I can't convert brass that way.

Sweet, I am going to convert .270 Win and 30.06 to 7x57mm.

Perfect. Same idea but different caliber. Saves money all round :)

I couldn't bring myself to do that to 30-06 brass since I have several rifles in that caliber. But not having a 270 and plenty of range pickup all of my 8mm was once 270 Win brass.

@Richard-D 30-06 is a great caliber but factory ammo is insane. In addition to the surplus rifles in 30-06 I have a Remington 721 (the father of the Remington 700) in 30-06. Best thing is Remington 700 stocks fit and I have a Magpul with ACS magazine, talk about modernizing an old rifle.

How many times can you do that with the hacksaw before you RUIN your die

It’s hardened steel. We’ve done close to 500 without a scratch on it.

It happens occasionally but it’s one of the cheaper brass to buy trade around here as it’s more common. I haven’t found a piece of 8mm brass yet so this was out best option to keep costs down.

No annealing?

Not yet. I’m going to make an annealer this winter with any luck. This will be the 2nd firing of this brass but it wouldn’t hurt for sure when brass gets worked.

Doug Giraurd makes a great automated annealer. That's what I use for my converted 8mm Mauser brass and 300 AAC BLK.
