Downloading surp guns?

This might belong in the reloading forum, but it does not address any specific loadings. My question is thus: There are alot of neat milsurp vintage guns that are lightweight carbines, not full sized rifles. But alot of them fire a full sized cart designed for a full length rifle application. In the carbines, or short guns, they develop alot of muzzle blast and recoil, and can sometimes be a pain to shoot very much. What I wondered is if anyone that handloads had tried reduced loads for their downsized carbine types to make them pleasant to shoot with good results for accuracy, etc.? Like maybe load some shorty to perhaps like 30-30 power levels or so. I understand that case capacity might make this trickier than it first appears unless you find a light powder charge or lighter weight bullet that works without creating problems.
