I am not sure what you are talking about here, sorry.

Isn't the new, yet unreleased O/U that was announced in the holiday event news chambered in 9.3x74R?

I guess 9,3x74R would be appropriate for buffalo.
Knowing EW they'll permit it for the same species as the .340, which is a shame, since it's a wonderful all round cartridge.
Here's to hoping it's permitted for the same animals as the 9,3x62 since they're basically twins and were developed as sister cartridges.
Spends all the gold and money to buy new weapons in the shape of guns.

That'd be the right thing to do, since the 9.3x74R is just a notch weaker than the 9.3x62
