"I personnaly have the hots for a Winchester Featherweight in 9.3 x 62 topped off with a 2-7 Leupold. The argument against it is that I would probably forsake my other rifles.
AGW"
Drooling now!
I like small light carbines in medium bores (the above if I had it would be my heaviest rifle), because you carry more than you shoot. The one negative to this preference is the recoil, but I have learned what to do to limit the "ouch".
Velocity (recoil) counts more than energy.
Powder weight effects recoil,use the fastest powder that is efficient in the cartridge.
Change recoil pads now and then,they get hard.
Don't set at the bench all day, I need the practice in various positions anyway.
In more direct responce to the question, if either is bigger than needed take the 9.3 for both the sake of both its history (the new .375 Ruger has none) and your shoulder.
