If you're trying to shoot through steel, then that'll depend on the thickness and density of the steel, as well as what you're shooting it with.

For regular steel targets which you're not trying to shoot through, you typically use regular FMJ ball ammunition, and only fire loads recommended by the manufacturer for the specific target.

Can you shoot laquer-coated steel cased World War 2 8mm ammunition?

Yes, there is nothing wrong with shooting old ammunition as long as it has been stored and cared for properly. If the cases are corroded, don't shoot them, as they would be prone to rupture during firing. One other very improtant thing ... CLEAN your weapon upon returning from the range, as a lot of this ammunition, to include US manufacture, used corrosive priming. Better to be safe than sorry.
