I have hunted extensively with all of those calibers and the 6.8SPC is my favorite for deer and pigs. I built the 6.5 Grendel first due to ballistics "long range" but learned what the internet already told me, I wouldn't see the difference in the two in hunting range.
The 6.5 Grendel is a great shooting round and extremely accurate but the hunting capabilities seem to be where the 6.8 shines. It hits hard, has good expansion, and is very accurate. I've found it to be more forgiving if you are shooting the right ammo, It'll make a mess of a neck/head.
I like the Hornady 110 VMAX for pigs. THUMP

Main purpose would be for hunting/plinking.
Already have the below calibers so wouldn't want them or anything too close to them....
like 6.5 Grendel for example due to it being too similar to the 6.8spc.
5.56/223
300BO
6.8spc
308
Anything else out there I should be looking at?
I'd be hand loading for it as well so I'm not really "too" concerned with ammo availability for now.

I have a Falkor .300 win mag and it’s probably my favorite hunting AR.

I have a couple ARs in 25-45 Sharps. One rifle has the 20in barrel and pushes an 87 hot-cor right at 2900fps. The other rifle is one I built for my 9 year old son with a 16in barrel, it pushes the same pill at 2750fps. If you reload its a great cartridge that's easy and cheap to make. I've been impressed with the performance on game as well, we've killed a pile of critters with them over the years without much fuss.

With that being said I have killed out to 650 and rang steel at 1400 with it. I absolutely love .260 just doesn’t work that great In a gas gun imo. 7.5 creed will get the same velocity with a shorter case that allows you to play with seating depth more.

I was looking for bullets, and saw some listed as for calibers such as, then listed the 350 Legend and some other calibers, then right below were some bullets listed as being for 38 Special, 357 Mag., 357 Maximum. From what I understand, the powder charge/ powder capacity of the 350 Legend and the 357 Maximum is very close.
