is shooting 223 in skills stupid I don't really want to blow a ton of money on ammo and just want to shoot and have fun. Looking at price utah match wondering what shot distances might be.

I would say that Price tends to be shorter distance on average, 350-550, I'd have to check my notes to get a proper average. Shadows there can make spotting tough, but the dust may make up for the smaller signature from the 223

Not stupid at all
I'm running a 223 Wylde for PRS tactical division and it's very competitive, the targets beyond 1000 yards get pretty sporty but it makes you really good at wind calls

The only issue with 223 for nrl hunter is the giant animal size steel targets they use generally won’t show much when hit by a 223.

Also I think the 10 oz suppressor allotment is only for Open light. So you could potentially have a 12 lbs 10 oz rifle. Open heavy is still 16 lbs total regardless

I’m taking my hunting rifle to some NRL Hunter matches this year. KRG XRAY, Origin, Bartlein 6.5PRC CF 22”, BixnAndy trigger, Diligent Enticer S suppressor, Atlas bipod. With either Maven RS1.2 2.5-15 or Vortex AMG 6-24 it weighs 12.5# total. Plan on getting some LRF Binos and Tricer RP bipod.

I’d like to think this is what the Open Light + suppressor is intended for, to make it an easy cross over from actual hunting rifle to matches.

Yep, if you're going to shoot a 223, I'd definitely tell the RO at the start of every stage that you're shooting a 223 for skills so they are looking closer for impacts.

I’m putting a rifle together. It’s currently chambered in .308win. It seems like 6s and 6.5s are the kings. I am familiar with the 6.5cm and I’m considering a rebarrel, but being cost conscious, is there a real benefit of one over the other?

6mm won’t make power factor so won’t qualify for points or prizes unless it’s in a factory gun. 6.5 CM is what 90% of guys are using

There is a large benefit to 6.5 creed over a 308 if you’re trying to win. If your 308 is your hunting rifle and you’re going to get better with your hunting setup, run the 308 and put the money towards practice ammo

It’s not at the moment. My hunting rig has been a 6.5cm. I just picked up a Bergara b14 in 308 for $200. Bought it mainly for the rem700 footprint. Was considering leaving it 308 or rebarrel into 6.5cm
