I wouldn't worry about running Norma ammo through a Swede M96. The reason for downloading 8x57 is that the Germans changed from a .318 bore to a .323 bore when they went from the 7.92x57 to the 8x57JS. The land to land diameter stayed the same, so the newer rifles could shoot the older ammo, but the bore diameter increased so the older rifle shouldn't shoot the newer ammo.
The Swedes never screwed with their bore size, and Norma brass is very unlikely to have a catastrophic failure (which is why pre-m98 actions are recommended for low pressure loads, they are strong enough to handle full power loads but don't have the gas handling safety features of the m98).
So shoot them as is.
