<9.3x62>My current 250-3000 has a pac-nor barrel I had cut with a longer throat (I only shoot 100s, 115, 117s, and 120s). Try necking up some 22-250 cases (rated to 53,000 CUP) to 250-3000 and stoke that baby up. 100s at 3100, 115s at 2900, and 120s and 2825 are no problem from my 22.5" barrel.
If you're ever looking for a weekend project give it a try...
