Ellwood Epps often sells it and possibly Bashaw Sports.

8mmx57 brass at tradeex
http://www.tradeexcanada.com/content...ser-brass-prvi
I use it, may be a bit softer than other brands, I stop about 1 - 2 grains below published max. It stands up well, I did notice one anomaly. PM me if you are serious about buying some.
I load 150's with CFE 223 @ 2800, nice load.

If you are not finding any 8mm Mauser brass, you can make it out of 30-06 brass. One pass through the FL 30-06 die and trim the neck.

Gun show next weekend.  Should be some there. In my poor student days, when 30/06 was cheap and plentiful I just ran that through the die, trimmed it and Presto.
