223, 6.5 CM, and 338 FED all in the same matched configuration.
My 3 are stainless Rugers bedded in McM Hunter stocks. They feel the same and weigh about the same, so I can move seamlessly from one to another. The 223 gets shot the most since it is used to varmint hunting, calling predators, and the ammo is cheaper for practice.
I've yet to shoot anything bigger than a whitetail with any of them, but think that the 338 FED would kill black bear, elk, and moose as well as any with proper placement of a properly constructed bullet.
My practice/warm up rifle is a Tradewinds 311A, a version of the Krico 302 that they imported under their name/brand. I believe that having a rimfire understudy rifle set up like your primary centerfire hunting rifle is the recipe for more economical practice and without practice you don't get better, even if you think that you don't need to get better.
