Which bullet?

[trickyric]

I have been wondering which bullet, caliber, weight that professional or top rated competition shooters prefer.
I know there are a few different calibers used in competition and I am wondering why a competitor picks one over the other.

It seems most comp guns are 6mm or 6.5mm these days. I'm no comp shooter (yet) so I am just parroting what I have read. 105 or 107 grains in the 6mm and 140 or the 130 berger in 6.5mm.

These calibers are chosen for high BC, high velocity and relatively low recoil.

What I am noticing is that in the 6.5 bullets 140 grain seems to be the most popular

Yep the 140 Hybrid over a charge of H4350 is hard to argue with.

And for those shooting 6mm, 105gr Hybrids seem to be the golden bullet. I use 115 DTACs, though.
