Don’t know, but it would be a heck of a lot cheaper to shoot.

The differences in case dimensions and LOA are pretty close. The ones I'd be most worried about are LOA (about 7mm diff), bullet diameter (true 7.62 vs 7.82), and base diameter (about .4mm diff).

Would there be enough machining room and stroke adjustment to get the action to shuck the extra 7mm length?

Would the extra case capacity translate to a bit more velocity/accuracy? Could tighten up the twist rate, but then short range accuracy might be impacted due to the bullet waiting longer to sleep...
