You have received some great advice here. Listen to those who have traveled the path already.
All sound advice. However, something Jeff said rings true with me.
Its funny, because I have custom rifles of about each caliber mentioned. 223AI, 22-243, 22-250, 6x47 Lapua, 6.5x47 Lapua, 243 AI
If, someone asked me ( and no one has) I think Jeff was on the money with a 8tw 6x47 Lapua. Knowing what I know now, I think that would have been my very first custom. The bullet selection for the 6mm stuff is great. I have several firings on my 6x47L cases and they have not grown yet to need trimming. Recoil is almost non-existent. Coleridge has already shown that the 105 VLD's can kill deer at long ranges. Plus you can load some lighter bullets if you want to shoot dogs.
Again, as many have stated, you cannot own just one custom. You will end up planning your next one before the first one is complete.
Just my 0.02$ from a hill billy
Good luck in your quest.
