Rocky Mountain Cartridge for machined brass shells, and hand loading tool sets.

CH4D also make die sets for the brass shells, but they need a big press - the RCBS Ammomaster is mentioned.

Using the industrial 8 bore shells would need a custom swaging die, to swage down the belt in front of the rim. Edit: CH4D can make those.

Wads - Ballistic Products or Precision Reloading. Both of these also sell the industrial hulls.

Ballistic Products also usually stock a reference book, "4 and 8 Bore Shotguns and Loads" by Tom Armbrust.

It's also mentioned around the web, that he has had 8ga die sets made to fit a MEC reloader.

He has an articles website at http://www.armbrust.acf2.org/

In our 12ga FH work we found this--
If you get 8ga industrial cases (45-70 cents ea), a
swage die only, even with our hairy loads,
they can be shot 4-5 times with no sizing.
No other dies or a press needed. Just a roll crimper
for drill press, wads, cards, slugs, all from BPI
and/or Precision Reloading.Ed

Contact John Millar, PO Box 65, Danville, WA 99121. (He lives in Canada I believe) Telephone 250-442-5616. In 2008 he made me 2 die head sizer for 1 &1/4" threaded for a press such as the RCBS press to size the band on the 8 guage hulls. Cost at the time $ 190.00. Also made Mec 8 ga. retooling set for my Mec 600 Jr. approx. cost $ 300.00. Ordered July 2008 delivered Feb 2009.
His work I found to be top quality.

Check out this website - www.ballisticproducts.com. Give them a call and ask. If they're out there, Ballistic Products will probably know about it.
