I don't know of any loaded rounds but you can purchase the brass and I'm sure someone will make them for you for a price. If I recall correctly the 8x57R-360 is a cartridge based on the British 0.360" Express necked down to either 8.077mm or 8.09mm with an approx. shoulder angle of 15°. Attempts were made to standardize the cartridge in the latter part of the 1920s. The DWM number was 446. I've made some from 0.360" 2 1/4" Express with a 30-40 Krag parent headstamp. But wait until you perform a cast as I'm still perplexed why an 8mm bullet won't pass thru. Is there any sign of sleeving?? Can you tell what the mark is just below the "118/35" stamp?
Kind Regards,
Raimey
