After looking in "The Complete Reloading Manual for the Thompson Center Contender", in order to get 2000 fps in a 357 Mag 10" T/C, you have to drop to a 125 grain bullet.

You might achieve that velocity with the barrel length you have by running a 357 Maximum reamer. Then again, if your going to those lengths, there are probably better choices that the Max.
