Some would ask "My 9.3x74R 's have proven themselves in the fine Drilling and Enfield Action. Why bother with the 9.3x62?"
Variety is the spice of life, and while we certainly can't reinvent the wheel... we can have a great time trying (grin)!
My 280AI is essentially a beltless 7 Rem Mag.
My 7-08 AI is essentially a short 280 Rem.
My 223AI is a wannabe 22-250 Rem (which BTW is a Wannabe 220 Swift).
While none of them provide any drastic difference over other cartridges of their class, they are no doubt usefull and keep me entertained.
The 9.3BS will fit into a short action.... arguement enough for everyone to have one!
