7.7 does appear to be semi-rimmed. I got tired of looking for ammo and got Norma brass and some bullets from Midway and reloaded my own. It is the same size bullet as the British .303

I suggest rolling your own.

You can convert 8x57 (8mm mauser) to 7.7 Jap. I did it and it works fine.
Look up the exact procedure online since my memory ain't that great but if I remember correctly all you have to do is neck the case down then fire form using very low power loads. I can't remember any trimming involved but please research this more before trying!
Oh, it is not semi-rimmed of course but it still works.
Editted to add;
I think Grafs might carry new production 7.7 Jap, I know they carry the brass and dies.
