444 Marlin was once the choice for forming 7x57R and 8x57R. However, 444 Marlin Brass is more expensive than buying loaded ammo for 7x57R or 8x57R right now.

I wasn’t suggesting that piles of 30 Luger were at the local range. Rather that you could form 9mm into 30 Luger and use that. I believe it may come up short but my understanding is that your goal...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I agree with one of the previous posters, why not 30 Luger? Dies easy to find. And it should form nicely with square shoulders.
Buffalo Arms and S and S firearms both make custom Lyman H &I dies

Mike,
Measure one of your Swedes and you will know.
Forum: Swappin & Sellin
Some of those are the same as the military Swedes. Thats if it’s a cross slot. Some Husky’s had ones that slid in from the front.
