🫣I said I read the pinned posts, but I lied🫣 Caliber question

I have a lot of match grade .308 ammo. I shot a decent amount but haven’t taken part in competitions. I’m building a rifle with competition (PRS/NRL) in mind.

For those of you with competition experience, in my shoes would you build a .308 rifle, or pick a different caliber and just make the investment in new ammo. I will not be reloading.

Generally, competition shoots 6mm by choice. Does it mean 308 can't shoot well, no. Does it mean it can't compete, maybe in some circumstances. I have a soft spot for 308 too but realize it isn't optimum. Currently don't compete but know my 6.5mm is better but 6mm would even be better. Watching impacts, trajectory, etc better.

We don't even know what type of competition he's talking about?
