With a lighter bullet it can even maintain pretty stout velocities for hunting, or turn it way down for plinking.
Since it uses plentiful (most of the time) and wide ranging .308 diameter components it is one of the most versatile cartridges a fella could ever want.

I know you're asking about rebarreling but depending on the issue for wanting to do so, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
Personally I'd leave well enough alone.
Nope, not recoil. I've made plenty of reduced loads too. But thanks for the suggestions.
