I would imagine that Kolibri round casess would be fairly easy to machine from small brass rod.

A bullet also easy to make.

The areas of concern for me would be that tiny rimless area
and of course the primer. It also would not be difficult to make a special tool to machine the primer pocket including a Berdan type integral anvil. Making a die to create small primer cups from very thin brass would be simple but of course the real challenge would be applying a real
priming compound. I read where toy cap pistol caps have been used with some success to 'reload' primers so there may be something there.

If I had a 2.7/3 mm Kolbri pistol I'd do it; I enjoy crazy challenges like that.
