The 7-08 would have more factory ammo available which could be a plus. I'm just getting all of my reloading stuff together so I'll be taking on learning how to reload too. Hopefully factory ammo won't be necessary in the near future but having it available if need be wouldn't be bad.
You're on the right track. Between those two, I would honestly recommend the 6.5 caliber. The .260 and 6.5 CM are ballistic twins. Hornady has match ammo for around $20 on the CM. It's worth a look if you're starting from scratch on both. The Hornady 6.5 brass has gotten good reviews from what I've seen. Either way, the .260 will do you fine as well. If you're reloading, just stock up and factory won't matter.

It's just nice having quality ammo cheaply available since I'm sure there will be times you just don't want to load before you shoot. I say that because I just bought some 6.5 Grendel ammofor that exact reason:)
