When you can buy 6.5 Creedmore in bulk, and I mean by the thousand lot, at less than .70 per round, maybe I’ll consder it. Until then I’ll stack 5.56 and .308 as deep as I can and spend the dollar delta at the range turning it into skills.
Save the brass. Reload the 5.56 with soft point social work ammo. The .308 with Sierra “reach out and just say hi” loads.
Everything is is firearm masturbation.
Just my opinion.

The 308 for mid-to-long range tactical is a great tool. Economical too!
But for the long range and extreme long range stuff, i’d personally be leery of buying inexpensive non-match grade stuff. Sometimes you can get lucky and find good loads and consistent bullets, but for anything past 600 or 900 yards, I think I’d go loony trying to ask my rifle to be repeatable with inexpensive ammo.
In some rifles the bullet style and weight can be a HUGE influence on accuracy. I was going nuts testing a brush gun in 44Mag with what I thought was good Horn Leverevolution 225 gr. Could NOT get 5 round grp under 5” at 50 yards. Then tried a lighter 180 gr Black hills (I think) and WOW. All of a sudden I’ve got .75 inch 5 round groups. For a second I thought I was really loosing my shooting skills.
I can’t disagree with your opinion.
