9,3x62 - well I have always been interested in the 9,3 Mauser and reducing the length of the case to 51,0mm would be interesting plus there is a reasonable choice of heavy 9,3mm bullets which are ideal for subsonic applications. It makes me wonder what a 9,3x47 would be like, it would be like a Blackout with attitude..

9.3x51 should be possible as there was/is a wildcat cartridge in 375-08, also known as the 375 Jaguar, I believe.

Very, very limited shoulder...

Mmmm, how about .338 Federal into the mix?
