My path has been similar. I've run 223 for years, and am now stepping into 6.5CM bolt gun. I took barrel life into consideration and went with the 6.5 CM as a good balance of ballistics, barrel life, and ammo availability for when I'm not rolling my own. I like that I can grab a few boxes of Hornady American Gunner if I need an easy button for sub-moa ammo, but will look at what I'm doing for my next caliber once I shoot this barrel out.
