Keycap, you want the Berger 105 Hybrid Target bullets - those are the ones a lot of competitors use. If those are tough to find, either the 105 RDFs (what I shoot in my 6 ARC) or the Hornady 108 ELDs (if you are someone who can get Hornady bullets to shoot straight - I am not one of those!). The Berger 109 Long Range Hybrids would also be a good choice.
I don't know where you're located, but having started shooting PRS (with a 6.5 CM gas gun) last December and a PRS style AR Competition last summer, temperature stability is much more important than getting an extra 100-150 fps or so. So I'd really stay away from Lever or any ball powder. At my last PRS match, the temp was 62 when we started at 7am and 91 when we started are last stage at noon. Lever is likely over 1 fps per degree ( and likely closer to CFE 223's reported 1.7 fps (which I've found to be 2fps at 90 degrees plus). Not only will there be different velocities over the course of the match, you risk falling out of accuracy nodes. I can confirm that that can be pretty embarrassing having shown up at an AR match with a Grendel loaded with CFE. There's a reason why the vast majority of PRS shooters use Varget and H4350. Unfortunately, a large portion of those who don't use something else do so because they couldn't find Varget or H4350 (note: do not attempt H4350 in 6 ARC). Varget isn't going to win any internet velocity competitions in 6 ARC, but Lever is just as likely to never win any practical shooting competitions.
