If you're building a target rifle, ammo availability is irrelevant. You'll be loading your own ammo just like every other even semi-serious target shooter. So long as you can get or form cases, nothing else matters.

If I wanted a dedicated target rifle, I'd probably be building either a 6mmPPC, 6BR.
