I have seen the 9.3X62 used quite a few times in the last 8-9 years and I have shot a few round myself from that shell, and I have personally used the 9.3X74R a lot more, and seen excellent results when I use good bullets. The 9.3X64 beats both of these shells by about 100-200 FPS, so again, given bullet that will not shatter, I am 100% sure it would be excellent because to be perfectly frank, I can't see a lot of difference in the kills from a 375H&H, a 9.3X62 and a 9.3X74R, so I see no reason the 9.3X64 would not be as good.
I'd add that .366 bullet has higher bc and better sectional density, for the same weight.
So considering that today powders have increased 9,3x64 energy at a superior level (6000 joule) that today bullets are comfortable with high velocity (A frame, woodleight PP and solids, oryx and many monolithics ) that all the weapons around chambering the old brenneke's beast are high quality gun, ( while .375 H& H often are low price with poor ergonomy and lightweight)
We can assure that today it's absolutely superior if compared to 1950's .375 performance.
I Think that only using the 9,3x64 a shooter can really understand its value.
