Other than S&B all I've ever shot in my 8mm's was Turkishicon milsurp or my own handloads. I generally don't recommend items I have no hands in experience with but you might give the Hornady brand a go. Advertised muzzle velocities of 2500 fps suggest it's closer to European standards. It ain't cheap though, $33/20 rounds. About the only other option would be the Nosler offerings but it's ridiculously expensive at pert near $3 a round.

Just an educated guess but I'd say all/most actual military surplus would be loaded to European standards.
Do you reload? Might be your best option.
