Just came across what sounds like a nice all purpose load for this round from John Barsness ( US gunwriter) - 250 grain Nosler Accubond bullet, 60.5 grains of Varget powder (not sure what the ADI original is!) for 2650 feet per second.

That's smoking by today's factory load standards - up to IMP Whelen specks actually, which is appropriate due to having a greater case capacity than typical IMP Whelen brass by 4 or 5 gr.

John usually runsctgs. where they should be - he and Brian Pierce seem 'bent' that way as in 160gr. in 7x57 at over 2,700fps.

The 9,.3x62 cartridge can actually do a bit better than Varget loads if using BLC2. That powder seems perfectly blalanced for this case.
