Not uncommon to see for example 7remmag use 140g bullets in the USA where its always been 162grn+ for us

Also, look at factory ammo like 28 Nosler only using 160grn ect not the big 180s we would use

I think the unavailability of the likes of speers wonderful btsp in heavy weights has contributed to the match bullets being used... so many folks have never seen how good a decent heavy soft old school projectile really is.... they have drunk from the coolaid fountain and are now sold on sleak plastic tips or nothing..... funny as hell when they spook n shoot using them too....
