I'm thinking very seriously about picking up a 10BA Stealth as my next gun but I'm undecided on the caliber choice. I was originally thinking to go with the .308 but I've read so much good about the 6.5 Creedmoor that I'm wondering if I should go that route?

Just some personal factors to consider:

I'm brand new to long range shooting.

This is going to be a "fun gun" not a competition rifle.

It will be strictly for shooting paper or iron targets. No hunting.

For the foreseeable future I'll be using factory loaded ammo.

The longest range I have access to is 600 yards, but a lot of my shooting will probably be at a closer 300 yard range.

So, is target ammo noticeably cheaper for one or the other? Will I notice much difference between the two at 600 yards and less? With a moderate amount of shooting (say 500-1000 rounds per year) will I like notice much difference in barrel wear?

Thanks for any answers or insights you can offer!
