Why are they using such a heavy bullet?

They’re all single shot aren’t they?

The length of the bullet probably has to be at least twice the diameter for in-flight stability at the desired range plus being lead = significant weight. Even in a standard handgun .45ACP, 230 grain is the usual weight so a rifle round being heavier is not surprising.
