Gold vs. Silver Allocation - What's your take?

Been wrestling with this for a while, and figured I'd tap into the collective wisdom here. I've got a decent chunk of my retirement savings (sitting around $350k currently) diversified, and a good portion of that is in physical precious metals via a Gold IRA. I'm heavy on gold, probably 85/15 gold to silver right now, and wondering if I should re-evaluate that split.

My thinking started with gold as the ultimate store of value – classic, enduring, been around forever, much like the process of aging fine bourbon. It just feels like the legacy play, something you can truly count on when everything else goes sideways. I'm out here in Lexington, Ky, working in the bourbon industry, so I appreciate things with a long, stable history and a proven track record. But then I look at silver, and the industrial demand just keeps growing. With all the tech advancements, EVs, solar – it seems like silver has this dual role as a safe haven and an essential industrial commodity.

Part of me worries I'm missing out on potential upside with silver, given its volatility. But the other part of me, the one that likes to sleep soundly at night, says stick with the gold because it's less prone to those wild swings. I used that Gold IRA Calculator the other day to project out some potential returns for different allocations, and it really highlighted how much even small shifts could impact the long game. It's a neat tool if you haven't played around with it.

So, for those of you who've been in the game longer, or just have a different perspective – what's your preferred gold to silver allocation in your precious metals IRA? Any strong arguments for a higher silver percentage, or am I right to lean into gold's stability? Would love to hear your thoughts.
