Centrefire bolt-action caliber for target shooting at 200 yards (already got a 22lr bolt). Given the ammo prices now, is 223 worth it (especially match ammo) or should I just go 308, since prices are similar? Also how often do you guys shoot .308 or other such expensive ammo (30-06/6.5 CM) 😅 ?

I figured, had a hard time finding 308 bulk online and the only ones were norinco.

Basically I need 2 separate rifles lol. One for the range (223) and one for hunting (308)

Thanks! very informative!
