Norma made up some lower pressure loads, 8x57 moderat. In the 60s some of the imported rifles were rebarreled to .308 and .243. I got a couple of the .243 barrels off ebay. Sold one, got the other installed, but I've not finished building the project. There are reduced recoil .243 loads available and I might get the loading gate marked for them. If I had one of the .308s, it would be fed US Krag loads, since case capacity is nigh the same.
