Either of the 6m calibers you listed are kind of overkill for paper work. I have a 6-06 Improved and use 240 weatherby data as my starting loads, not really efficient but effective. I would also have a 6mm AI and in my opinion this is much more pleasant to shoot and plenty enough horsepower for anything you have in mind.

I would say the 6.5-06 would probably be easier on barrels then the other two, All three have either brass you would need to from or that is expensive.. I'd do a 6BR or .260 before any listed due to brass availability and barrel life. If you wanted something different a 243AI or 260AI would be cool to.

all are barrel burners, dose that matter to you?
you looking for laser flat and fast?
You can build what ever strikes your fancy, that is the fun part, just wondering why you arrived at those 3 choices.
another over looked less expensive one is the 6.5 rem mag.
