7x57R cases are available from Midway and Grafs. I would think bumping it up to 8x57R would be a snap. I think you can also resize .444 Marlin brass, but that would take some measurements to be sure.

Could you post a pic or two? Just curious about the rifle grin.

Also check out www.buffaloarms.com. They have brass and bullets for pretty near just about anything.
