Choosing a good rifle to suit your style is a better question or use of time researching. 243 6.5creed 6.5x55 270 7mauser 308 3006 7mmremmag are all popular for their own purposes.

If you want a cheap rifle with cheaper plinking ammo then 308 has access to surplus 7.62x51 nato. But cheaply manufactured full metal jacket bimetal bullet ammo shouldnt sway your decision for choosing a quality hunting rifle. Normal hunting 308 ammo is the same price as 270 or 3006

On the other end of the spectrum, the common match shooting cartridges have more of high end match ammo on the market. Some of the more hunting focused cartridges dont have as much following for match ammo selection.

If you get into reloading, none of that really matters so much. You can make quality ammo for cheaper in whatever cartridge you like.
