The bullets match bullets or hunting bullets? What weight? Having 3,000 of 'em would lean me a long way towards the 6mm though.
Hunting what? Competitive target shooting or just because it's fun?
What's your budget like? Suspect a 6mm will be a totally cu$tom rifle. AR-10 or not. A 6.5 you can buy off-the-rack from Ruger, et al.
The 6mm Creedmoor is a twin of the .243 Win. About the same velocities but using a longer barrel. Midway has Hornady brass on sale right now at $34.99 per 50. ($33.99 per 50 for the 6.5. On back order, of course.) So at least you can buy the 6mm ready to load.
