Since the rules are written so that you just have to "ring" some steel, pop a balloon, etc., it makes no sense to use anything more powerful than the absolute minimum, since it would just slow you down. Because of that, probably the most common claibres used are light-loaded .38s and .357s, but you also see light-loaded .44s and .45s in use. It's a game, and everyone who participates realizes that.
