In the spirit of the thread, I suggest:

.243 Win
.30-06

This covers varmints, small deer and larger deer and black bears.

If it was a more general two rifle battery, then I would like some overlap for the cartridges. Keeping with the varmint theme, at a stretch, I would suggest

.25-06
.338-06

Other than that, I think this provides good coverage - lightweight mountain rifle /better wind bucking and something to hunt larger game

.270 Win
.338-06

Could substitute the 6.5 CM for a 270, 7-08, 308, or any other number of cartridges.


The cartridge shocked me a bit, but he did mention others. There is efficiency in one cartridge and two different setups. I certainly can't fault the 6.5CM from either the range or the field performance.

Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.

375 H&H period. However, the old 30/06 wouldn't bad either.
