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

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
