Ribbon: I like that conversion sequence. What is the finished dimension of the .223 brass after step 2?
Is it 0.3567"?

Why take the long way around to the outhouse?

'Cause it is kinda fun to make your own stuff.

The Nagant chamber will not accept a loaded round with the thicker brass and a .311 bullet inside.

Note: Regardless of what bores slug, etc., the actual spec bullet for the Nagant cartridge is a .308 JDEWC.
Graf and Sons sells them.

yep

Can't disagree with a word of that. (Well....maybe Nagant ammo being inexpensive. Fiocchi Nagant = $31/50. Fiocchi .45 ACP = $21/50)
It is a heck of a lot of work. It was one of those things that I do so as to find out if I could. Just in case.
