Mosin Nagants have the same problem. Most of them are happier with .311
or .312 rather than the ubiquitous .308.  .303 British to the rescue.
The Brits measure between the lands rather than the grooves so the
bullets are .312.

I reload with .303 bullets. Prvi Partizan has boxer primer brass that I
reload. It was an experiment on my part of what can be done with a $75
rifle. Reloads are noticeably more accurate than surplus Bulgarian steel
case but you don't get the great balls of fire effect. They didn't skimp
on powder.
