Charlie, thanks for the input.
In the back of my mind, which can be very shallow, I was thinking that the 9.3 x 74 came out in the teens or early twenty's. It would be fun to see if the proof marks included a date to ascertain when the gun went through proof.
I can't imagine purposely hunting lion with the 9.3 x 74, it's wonderful caliber, but it is not a 375 H&H, which to me would be the minimum to bet your life on.
