The 8mm Roth-Steyr is a military centerfire pistol cartridge adopted by the Austro-Hungarian cavalry in 1907 for the Repetierpistole M7--the first self-loading pistol adopted by a major military power. The cartridge headspaces on the mouth of the case. Ammunition was typically packaged in a unique ten-round charger. Austrian military production contained greased un-plated steel-jacketed bullets. A few private firms in Austria manufactured ammunition with cupro-nickel-jacketed bullets. Fiocchi Munizioni manufactured 8mm Roth-Steyr cartridges as one of its specialty lines as recently as 2017. An alternative source of reloadable cartridge cases is a labor-intensive process of base forming, trimming, neck reaming and resizing .30 Carbine brass.
