This is more of a mental masturbation question but here goes.
I’ve used .223, 7-08, .35 Whelen, 30-06, 22-250, 25-06, .300WM, .243, 45-70 Govt, .338WM for various purposes over the last forty or so years.
My one and done for the lower 48 has become the .338WM. Wyoming Antelope, Coues Deer, to Moose and Black Bear. With that said I purchased a .375 Ruger because it was a left handed bolt and stainless steel. Only two of the above named cartridges were in a left handed bolt. I now refuse to own a right handed bolt rifle.
I’m considering a two gun battery but in all likelihood the second rifle would sit in the safe except for range time and training with a lighter recoiling rifle. So the question is; For a two gun battery for worldwide hunting what would you think of the 6.5 Creedmoor and .375 Ruger?
I’m shooting factory ammo these days but the other cartridges were handloads. I no longer have the desire or time to work up loads. Factory ammunition is easy for me to find in these two cartridges although very limited for the .375 Ruger. Only Hornady seems to be supporting this cartridge on a consistent basis. If I can’t get the Hornady factory ammo to shoot well I’ll take up reloading again but only for that cartridge.
So what are your thoughts on a two gun battery consisting of a 6.5 Creedmoor and a .375 Ruger with the understanding that the .375 Ruger will likely see 90% of the hunting time unless I’m calling coyotes?
