I have to agree with the nod towards the 6.5...I have a couple of 6.5x55 Swedes but have also discovered the joy of the 264 Win Mag. There are rumors of the 264 being a "barrel burner" but I'm not convinced of the validity of that argument in a modern production rifle.
For your stated distances and purposes, I'm not sure a 30 caliber is necessary. In the end, it will come down to your personal preferences.
