They are relatively cheap and get the job done.
This^. I don't see any reason to get some super expensive round that is hard to find. If you're worried about recoil just put a big ole muzzle brake on it.
And if it concerns you too much just get a 260 upper or a 6.5mm barrel and you get a little bit of recoil reduction.
Remember, 260 Rem and 308 Win shoot from the same parent case (308 Win).
Other 308 parent cases:
22-250 (5.56mm bullet)
243 Win (6mm bullet)
260 Rem (6.5mm bullet)
7mm-08 (7mm bullet)
.308 Win (7.62mm bullet)

The parent case for the 6.5 Grendel is the 7.62x39 that has been necked down to 6.5 and Ackley Improved.
You can get a box of 20 100g FMJ Wolf steel case for $7.99 online at Alexander arms.

Ok. I'm kinda new to ARs. Not rifles or reloading. Ammo obscurity and price are relatively redundant as I'm gonna reload whatever I go with. Also don't want to build an ar10 and wouldn't anything in the 308 case family require an AR10 platform? That's what I'm understanding. Again, gonna be for a kid and want to avoid the extra weight
