8mm Steyr components?
 
Does anyone know where I can get bullets/brass for the 8mm Styer?

Make From: .30 Carbine cartridge

Cut case to .750", ID neck ream, F/L size, length trim & chamfer to .740" OAL.

Use .323 unsized bullets.

We are looking at this same project. No production brass is currently available. It appears that there are two starting points for brass: 32-20, and 30 Carbine. Bottom line: 30 Carbine is a better duplicate of the original case, but the 32-20 is easier to make without costly tooling. RCBS catalogs a "forcing die" set to convert 30 Carbine - it is very expensive, however, no machining is required beyond shortening the case. The 32-20 solution involves laborious machining the rim, but no swaging is involved. Take your pick.
