What bullet type used in matches?

Question from a newcomer to service rifle matches.

For those of you who`ve shot Service Rifle Matches with a DCRA LB Enfield in .308, what bullet type and weight is commonly used in these matches?

For my .308 service rifle loads (rundowns and different position shooting) I have used bulk 147 gr. bullets, 155 gr Sierra MK Palma bullets, 125 gr. PSP bulk Remington bullets. All of these bullets were just great. Remember that we are under stress while shooting so a 2 MOA rifle/ammo combination is competitive.

Russell's in Calgary sell Nosler J4s in 250 count packs (155 & 168gr. HPBT) and go for the $55 mark. A good bullet at a good price. Work well in my 700, but I haven't run these through my Enfield yet.
