.308 or .338?

In an AR platform designed for distance 6.5 Grendel! Very flat long range round! But between the two listed 308 all day!

Thanks for the post, and the replies. This had been a question of mine for some time as well. I have (some months ago) determined that .308 is a better choice, for a number of reasons.
1- Being a widely used military round, ammo is relatively cheap and easy to come by.
2- I am not a precision long-distance marksman. If I ever do become one, I may revisit this question, but until then, .308 is more than accurate enough for my needs.
3- I would also plan to use said rifle as a hunting rifle. It would be unwise/unnecessary to get something I am going to blow away at realistic hunting ranges.
Just my two cents.

Not in these parts.

The norm is 6.5s with the 6mm calibers making headway.
