My current primary deer rifle is my VZ24 scout rifle re chambered into 7X57.
How do you rechamber an 8X57 to 7X57?
The guy I bought it from took the old barrel off and put one of those 21" FN 7X57 barrels on that Sarco was selling new in the white a few years back.

My comment was a joke -- you can't rechamber an 8X57 to a 7X57, you can only rebarrel it, as your friend did.
You could rechamber an 8X57 into an 8mm-'06 by using a .30-06 chamber reamer. You would then expand the necks of .30-06 cases to 8mm and load 8mm bullets. That, by the way, is a great wildcat, just about equal to the .338-'06.
