The original ammo, according to John Taylor, projected both 286gr. solids and soft points at 2,175fps. Taylor said the increase to 2,360fps was not necessary as the original killed all the large dangerous game quite effectively, I suspect due to good bullets.

Where Taylor found his "2175 fps" data is a mystery to me.In the 1920s four 9.3x62 factory loads were listed in German catalogs. These are the same as the pre-WW1 loads:
285 gr round nose at 2230 fps
258 gr H-jacket at 2296 fps
231 gr round nose at 2379 fps
188 gr pointed sp at 2625 fps

By 1934 DWM listed these:
285 gr rn at 2362 fps
231 gr rn at 2523 fps
231 gr pointed sn at 2543 fps
285 gr strong jacket round nose at 2382 fps
262 gr rn boat tail strong jacket at 2497 fps

RWS 1940:
285 gr rn at 2329 fps
258 gr H-jacket at 2597 fps
As you see, some of these loads were just as powerful than the .350 Rigby Magnum, 225 at 2600.

2,175fps is easily accomplished with a 286gr. bullet in the 9.3x57 chambered in a Husky Model 96/94 Mauser.

Yes, but only with modern powders, not the fast burning ones available pre-WW1. And, you are doing the same with the 9.3x57 Taylor complained about what the German factories did to the 9.3x62: Increasing the velocity without regard to sighting.
