I was wondering if there is anyway to make 8x58R form the 8x57JR?

No, but the 45-70 will reform to cases that are a little short but work. 45-90 will reform to the correct length but cost quite a bit more than 45-70 cases. You may have to turn the rims down a little to get them to fit the recess in the chamber.
Buffalo Arms was selling reformed 348 Win.
Someone on here was using a belted magnum case. Think it was the 338 Win mag. I haven't investigate this as I have enough cases for now.
Some are also using the 8X56R.

Thanks. Someone messaged me and stated the 8x56R Hungarian would fire form.
