If I'm committed to a wildcat, I'd like the best of the type. 6.5-06 is good, 6.5-06 AI is better, 6.5 Sherman would be best in a long action on that case head as a wildcat. Once you jump into "wildcat", die cost, reamer rent, other custom reloading bits start to add up. ….if I do it, I'd do the best I could.
I would also seriously consider a 270 Winchester throated for longer bullets and an 8 or a 9 twist. That gives you standard ammo plus the option for near wildcat performance. Just be sure to have the barrel engrave with the freebore and twist, so it is clear it is not exactly SAAMI.
