    Any word on the cartridge and bullet they used? In light of the 6.5 Creedmoor selection that seems like a likely choice….

    There were some other pictures of the shooters and their guns floating around. The bolt gun with the Proof barrel was chambered in .308.

    I haven’t seen a picture of any other gun that indicated cartridge.
