[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2591807, member: 87243"] I would bet with the longer throat on a 6.5x55, you will need a longer bullet, if memory serves, I believe the throat is about .55" long. Sounds like there is a significant portion where the bullet is out of the case, but not yet engaging any portion of the barrel. Blow by/turbulence is probably causing problems. Steve is a good guy, if you talk to him about it he may swap you some bullets. I know they won't be as light/fast as the 99's would be, but at least they may shoot sub MOT (minute of truck) lol.
