Any word on the cartridge and bullet they used? In light of the 6.5 Creedmoor selection that seems like a likely choice….
According to comments from the previous post, competitors were restricted to 7.62 NATO caliber but could choose their own cartridges.

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.
