0-500 yard target shooting, I personally choose a 223. No sense in burning ~30%+ more powder and tolerating 165% increased recoil - all to get only ~60-70% of the barrel life.
Without a specific application - competition or hunting - there’s nothing advantageous to be gained by using anything larger than 223rem, 6.5 Grendel, or 6 BR (something pushing a 70-120grn bullet 2700-2900fps over ~30grn of powder) for 0-500 yard target practice. Just noise, cost, and recoil.
