making brass

[mmm]

Does anyone know how to make 6.5* 58 portguese brass?

Hmmm

I am pretty sure I saw instructions once for converting .270 over.

IIRC it took two different die sets to do it.

It was for a Boer War Portguese lend that Canadiankestrel has....

Let me check my notes

Hmmm

Definitely .270

Here is a good thread indicating the use of 8mm mauser

Just looking at the case measurements, you could probably make it simply by running x57 mauser brass into a FL die (7x57 would be a good candidate), and then fireforming. You'd end up with brass that's a bit short, but should be functional. Running 25-06 or 270 brass into an FL die and them trimming should produce better cases, but would take a bit more work and a lot more lube
