The 9,3x57 is actually a pretty good option for the Krag, due to the low pressure standard of the cartridge.
Here is a link to a norwegian gunsmith who makes some nice custom krags, by the way. The language will be incomprehensible to you, but if you scroll down the page you’ll see some nice photos
Mange er tydelegvis interessert i Krag....
Me har dei siste åra fått mange henvendingar i høve Kragombygging, og det er berre kjekt. Me ser at mange nok har litt vel store forhåpningar til kva som skal kunna gjerast me ...www.rafdal-vapen.no

30-40 krag with 165gr rd, 9.3 krag(.366"), 9.3x57 fired, 9.3x57
i think i am falling into the 9.3 spell. i used my hornady 9.3x57 dies to make a 9.3(36) krag. all i did was switch out the shell-holder. 3 or 4 times with the press handle and a 36 krag is formed. its a little longer than a 9.3x57 and the neck i luv. theres some other smaller differences but i don't mind. i "googled" the 9.3x57R and i found it was tapered and black powder was used. the 9.3(36) krag is a rimmed bottleneck. i think i'm going to go with the 9.3.

Both of those two cartridges operate at higher chamber pressures than are safe in a US Krag...
Ricin Yakima is on the right track. Optionally taking the Krag or .303 British case out to .375 and using #375449 with .38-55 data intended for the 1894 Winchester is a viable option, or a .35 on the Krag or .303 British case and using .35 Remington data. Also extremely viable and safe.
