Actually the 375 Scovill is the 9.3x62 necked up to .375. When Dave was working on it he didn't have 9.3x62 brass so used 30-06 brass that was fireformed to the 9.3x62 chamber ( which is why some folks mistakenly credit it as a necked up 30-06)
It could properly be referred to as a 9.5x62.
It is also a great round. I get a solid 2400fps using 286gr .375 Grand Slam bullets.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
